As sailing yachts have grown in size and crews are being reduced, captive winches can offer a solution to handling the increasing sheet loads on bigger boats.
HYDROMAR design, produce and test a variety of captive winches in a standard range and if necessary can custom build to your specific requirements.
The HYDROMAR captive winch reflects Hydromar's basic philosophy: create a simple product with as few components as possible and combine this with a smart appearance with highest quality fabrication.
The designers challenge to create a winch that can sell itself by appearance alone, while quality comes as standard has been fulfilled.

These new Holmatro Winches have been reinvented for sailors by sailors. They have unique features and innovations that, we are convinced, will dominate trends in winch design for years to come.
With the launch of Holmatro winches we had one target in mind: to offer the best winch in the market” says Holmatro Marine Equipment’s GM Gert Jan Uijtdewilligen. “We are convinced we have succeeded. Our winches will provide sailors with more power, speed and fun for generations to come.”
Winch efficiency is how muscle power on a winch handle is transmitted to a sheet or halyard. Holmatro winches optimize your human input with a maximum exchange to useable sail power. Holmatro continues to use the proven Meissner concept of one-piece, self lubricating bearings resulting in less friction, longer life span and virtually no bearing maintenance. The advanced gear and bearing technology as well as the patent pending drum surface helps you to master your power.
The forged aluminum one piece stripper arm provides an elegant and safe non-rotating top. The arm can be positioned where necessary during installation and is shaped to minimize the possibility of fouling sheets during release. The forged aluminum drum provides strong, lightweight construction with optimal protection against corrosion. Using high-tech aluminum alloys, advanced composites and innovative design Holmatro winches are up to 50% lighter than comparable models on the market. The self-tailing jaws offer perfect grip to a variety of lines including modern line of smaller diameter as well as more traditional cordage. All Holmatro winches are designed to be easily upgraded to hydraulic or electric power with no changes to the winch necessary.
Unique features of Holmatro winches:
Grip & Run™ Grip & Run™ drum surface
Hybrid bearings provide less resistance and virtually no maintenance
Improved efficiency
Non rotating cap with an integrated stripper arm is an elegant and safe design
Quick and easy maintenance
Easily converted to hydraulic or electric power
Weighs up to 50% less than comparable models
More about our Grip & Run™ drum
The Grip & Run drum surface is matchless in the market. It is based on a Meissner patent (acquired by Holmatro in 2004). The grip while trimming and the control while easing are exceptional.
The Grip and Run™ advantages:
Maximum radial grip (wet or dry)
Minimal vertical resistance
Line tension is more evenly spread
Eases line smoothly, even at high loads
Less wear and tear on sheets and halyards

Constructed from aluminium, hard anodised and built to last. The robust drum house, hydraulic drive and oilbath gearbox ensure virtually silent running and hardly any maintenance.
The drum takes a single layer of rope and its length is calculated depending on the necessary working length and diameter.
A stainless steel spindle alongside the drum moves a car with a sheave at the precise speed relative to the drum and rope diameter, stowing the rope neatly on the drum. There are limit switches at each end of the spindle which stop the winch when the car reaches its limit.
Six sizes of reel winch are available, ranging from 1500kg to 18.000kg pulling force.
When decided to request price information please send a deck- and sailplan. Also we would need line load and length.
With this information we can inform you better.

Lighter and smaller in volume these winches are a breakthrough from traditional design. These two key characteristics maximise comfort by reducing deck space and by increasing boat performance.
A larger diameter in the drum means more traction on the rope and more efficiency in self-tailing. Larger internal body diameter allows the use of aluminium and thinner walls resulting in a much lighter part.
Low profile and less weight, reaching 20% less in the #44. All winches bigger than the #44 present a roller bearing around the base resulting in a much more stable body, independent from the origin of the load. All shafts use roller bearings or highly-resistant auto-lubricated synthetic bushing. Self tailing and self-adjusting for a variety of rope diameters.
Off-centre axle means more space for gears. With the same base diameter the winch delivers greater mechanical advantage. This is a plus in high-load action and even allows the use of a shorter handle in lighter winds. First gear 15-25% higher allows a longer period of 'pumping' before using the second gear.
|
|
Based on our range of drum winches, these winches have a stainless steel cleat mounted in the top of the drum.
Choose between five different standard base heights, either with an external or an internal flange.
Six sizes of cleat winch are available, ranging from 1500 to 18.000 kg pulling force.
When decided to request price information please send a deck- and sailplan. Also we would need line load and length.

Classic ANDERSEN Winches© are fitted worldwide as standard on Dragon, H-boats and Folkboats. These winches have become a legend in their class, and can be used on any yacht of up to 2 tons' displacement.
Classic ANDERSEN Winches - except for model 28STU - have one gear and can be operated as either a bottom-action winch or an under-deck version with various shaft lengths. Please refer to table to make the correct choice.
A feature of the classic single-speed winch is that the handle can be pumped. On this type of winch, the handle is included in the price - except for the model 28STU. What's more all handles can be purchased separately.
The ANDERSEN Classic Range© also offers a choice of under-deck self-tailing winches, particularly suitable for yachts with open cockpits.

We have added yet another uncompromising new motor product to our existing line of high-quality motors. The new ANDERSEN COMPACT Motor© comes as a variable-speed or 2-speed unit in two versions: Below Deck, with smaller built-in dimensions than a standard motor, and Above Deck, which features the winch directly mounted onto the motor. This motor is a highly efficient unit with a high line speed and good traction. The unit is extremely well-suited for mounting and is compatible with the ANDERSEN Modular Power System©.
This motor demonstrates why ANDERSEN Products© are in a class of their own. When we say COMPACT, we mean COMPACT - because the unit is a true unit. The motor, gears and power supply feature an all-in-one design. There are no extra control boxes and only 3 cables out of the unit, resulting in the smallest dimensions available in a motor. The unit itself consists of 2 compartments, with the motor compartment completely sealed and water-resistant, and the gear compartment specially adapted to meet service needs. The motor is built on a entirely new commutator principle using no carbon brushes, resulting in the virtual elimination of wear and tear. This new approach to motors also provides other advantages, including a power consumption 30-50% lower than that of a normal electric unit. The weight is reduced by approx. 50% of a standard electric unit. So for us, COMPACT means less weight, more power and a fully integrated design.

Managing your boat is a demanding task - sails represent a challenge. The challenge of managing them correctly, managing them yourself, and doing so in time basically amounts to managing the powers of nature. So why not empower yourself with this ability? ANDERSEN Electric Winches© are the right tools for the job. Representing a combination of safe sailing and convenient push-button technology, these winches are also designed to allow easy assembly and dismantling for service and maintenance. In addition, the motor is protected from overload by an amperage sensor installed to cut off power at a pre-set load. As a further precaution, all electric motors are fitted with thermal cutouts in case of overheating.
ANDERSEN Electric Winches are supplied complete with an installation manual, electronics box, switches, and cable terminals.

Three-speed self-tailing winches are ideal sheet winches on larger boats. Coupled with Harken's® large drum diameters, three-speed self-tailing winches offer very high line speeds for racing or fast cruising, even in heavy conditions. Self-tailing allows one crew member to handle the entire trimming task-perfect for cruising or racing boats.
First gear is selected by depressing the nameplate ring next to the winch handle socket. The winch then auto-shifts from first to second to third on successive crank direction of rotation changes. Use first gear for fast sheet trimming in light to moderate air.
All large three-speed winches offer drums supported by ball bearings, two gears driving the drum, 17-4 PH stainless shaft pins, and roller bearings on all gears.
By special order, the B74.3 can be provided with power ratios of 85:1 or 92:1 for use on high loads such as found on very large boats or multihulls.
|
|
RACE VERSION
Means minimum weight and therefore titanium alloy gears, resin bearings; base structure in light alloy entirely produced by CNC machining (no casted components).
The resulting weight is 17 kg.
EFFICIENCY
The drum runs on 2 roller bearings and one ball type bearing made completely in resin (torlon). Of particular note is the large main roller bearing which is wider than the drum itself and which works externally on the toothed ring gear.
All the gears are mounted on roller bearings for radial loads and on ball bearings for axial loads. There are a total of 20 bearings.
|
|
The push-button on the base starts the first gear (the faster); second and third gear are automatically selected simply reversing the rotation of the handle.
Maxi winches for boats more than 20 m long. These models are almost always powered with electric motors or hydraulic motors and available only with a bronze drum.
All the gears are fitted with roller bearings and the drum works on a very wide diameter roller-ball bearings.
|
|
HORIZONTAL DRIVE MOTOR 700 W 12/24 V
Three models 40, 44 and 48 ST are powered with a 700 watt motor, available in 12 and 24 volt versions. Two switches, one control box and one breaker complete the system.
|
|
The hydraulic system can be applied to all ANTAL winches from model W44 to W70 and also maxi W80.3.
The pressure of the system varies from 100 to 120 bars for the larger winches.
Connections are to be carried out with 3/8" pipes.
All our hydraulic winches come supplied with a chromed bronze drum.
LINE SPEED
Line speeds are calculated in absence of load conditions; these are in any case only indicative values. The effective speed will be evaluated according to the actual size of the hydraulic unit.
|
|
ONE REDUCED SPEED
The two smallest models (W16 and W30) have a single reduced gear, giving a slow but powerful force. The handle turns freely the other way. Marine bronze base and gears, AISI 316 stainless steel central rod and bearings, black anodized aluminum (AL) or chrome-plated bronze (BR) drums.
TWO SPEED: DIRECT AND REDUCED
The addition of a direct gear to the models described above gives a faster recovery speed, which, combined with reduced weight and bulk, makes the two speed models the best choice for racing.
W16.2 ST is now available also in chromed or natural bronze version
