The upper ball bearing
and the lower roller bearing are designed to be the
maximum distance apart, resulting in increased support
for the drum while increasing efficiency |

Large-diameter roller
bearing to absorb drum loads and increase efficiency |

Pawls made from cold-pressed stainless-steel
bar AISI 316L, meaning unbreakable pawls |

Base plate made from aluminum
bronze, which is twice as strong as standard bronze

Lightweight stainless-steel
drum with Power Rib© ensures a superior grip on the
sheet without causing excessive wear |

Andersen Self-Tailing Winches
Andersen Self-Tailing Winches extend the service life of your sheets and halyards
and the winch itself, since the Power Rib and the smooth surface of the drum require
fewer turns compared to other winches. In addition, the self-tailing device is designed
to accommodate a number of different of sheet and halyard sizes - enabling the winch
to serve many different purposes and providing you with a range of products to choose
from, no matter what you sail. A special option for Andersen Winches is a choice
of having your own winch titanium-coated in bronze or brass, whichever matches your
classic boat. This means that the surface of your Andersen Winch will never show
wear and tear.
Andersen Standard Winches
Small yachts need quality winches just as much as large yachts. The crews of
small yachts also need to economize on manpower, and there is a need for positive
sheet adjustment. Uncompromising quality is an Andersen Winches hallmark that starts
with standard winches. Manufactured in stainless steel, Andersen Standard Winches
feature the Power Rib to facilitate winching under all conditions and circumstances.
