Sailboat 3 speed self-tailing winch
HT 94066 - ø 268 mm Holt

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.
