Self-tailing sailboat winch E40rev

reversibleelectric2-speed

Overview
The Seldén E40rev is a 2-speed electric reversible winch engineered for precise trimming and controlled easing while keeping the line in the self-tailer. Designed to reduce manual handling of heavily loaded lines, the E40rev improves safety and simplifies sail handling for short-handed or solo crews. All functions are operated by push-button control, allowing hands-off manoeuvres.

Key features

• 2-speed electric operation with forward (trimming) and reverse (controlled easing)
• Controlled easing in reverse without removing the line from the self-tailer
• Push-button control for safe, hands-off operation
• Built on Seldén's S-series platform for proven integration
• Patented ART drum for reliable grip and smooth self-tailing
• Manual backup option for operation when electrical power is unavailable
• Powered by Seldén's 42V SEL-Bus system for efficient, reliable performance

Applications and availability
The E40rev is intended for running rigging control on sailing yachts where bidirectional handling and reduced crew workload are priorities. It enhances safety during heavy loads and simplifies trimming and reefing operations. The world premiere took place at boot Düsseldorf and the E40rev is featured on the Saffier SE 28 Leopard. Market availability is scheduled for spring 2026, with larger reversing models planned later in 2026.
