Self-tailing sailboat winch XT66

2-speedaluminum

XT ST cruise winch, power 66, 2 speed, black aluminum drum 14 new self-tailing winches available in the following versions: Hard black aluminium (AL): the aluminium drum is hard black anodized and teflon coated, scratch-proof and very hard-wearing. Chrome (CH): the drum, ST disks and ST arm are entirely chrome-plated. All chromed parts are highly polished, thickly nickel-plated and finally finished in chrome. Simple opening: just unscrew the upper ring to immediately dismantle the winch for an easy of cleaning and maintenance. New self-tailing XT system: fixed upper disk with built in ST arm and self-regulating lower disk on springs. The new self-tailing adapts automatically to a wide range of rope diameters and, if overloading occurs, releases the line to avoid excess force on the ST arm. Knurling: the drum vertical knurling offers maximum horizontal friction allowing the rope “slide” upwards. Differentiated grip (aluminium drums only): minimum friction on the lower part where loads are higher and maximum at the top where loads are minimal: the result is an even grip along the entire drum. CNC base: machined by CNC (computer numeric control machines) is lighter and stronger than normal castings; aluminium made, hard black anodized and teflon coated. Easy removal from the winch makes maintenance a simple affair.
