Andersen Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winch
Uncompromised performance, reliability and stainless steel durability and surprisingly light
See the Andersen Winch Weight Comparison Chart & Andersen Winch Selection Guide.
Beautifully polished full stainless steel design result is a incredibly long lasting winch that becomes a highlight of the boat. Desirable not only on classic yachts, but on any yacht where performance, elegance and durability are not negotiable. Black Trim model now available to match earlier models with black trim. All winches from size 28 up can be fitted with the new single speed electric upgrade kit, allowing easy cost effective electric conversion when required.
Exclusive self-tailing mechanism - The Andersen Standard series incorporate the exclusive self-tailing mechanism that automatically accommodates a wide range of different sheet and halyard sizes allowing each winch to serve numerous on-board purposes. From raising sails to trimming sheets, these winches provide the reliable power you need for smooth sailing.
Stainless steel Power Rib™ drum - The Standard Self-Tailing winch features the exclusive stainless steel Power Rib™ drum which generates maximum horizontal grip but minimizes vertical friction allowing lines to slide up the drum for better efficiency and less wear on ropes, reducing the replacements costs of sheets and halyards. The design allows fewer turns on the winch and makes tacking easier. Sheets can be gently eased out without harsh snatching and the risks of overrides and jammed sheets are significantly reduced. The grip provided by the ribs will remain the same year after year, unlike many other winches with an abrasive or sandpaper-like surface.
Low maintenance design - all Power Rib© pawls and springs are captive, and the design of the winch allows you to strip it down for service and greasing. The aluminium bronze alloy base plate is approximately 2 1/2 times stronger than traditional bronze. The pawls, made from machined AISI 316 cold-pressed stainless steel, are so strong that the winches never risk backing off.
Servicing is only required every 2 years under normal use.
- AISI 329 stainless steel shaft
- 360º adjustable self-tailing (from size 40ST and up)
- Low friction curved self-tailing arm
