The KCW45 is an ultra compact 2 speed winch for sailboats up to 40 feet (12 meters). It is the only winch on the market to offer both a very fast speed (1st speed) and a very powerful speed (2nd speed). Sending a large sail or tacking will seem particularly easy to you ! It replaces any winch up to size 40. Switch to Compact is obvious when you take the time to compare !
The KCW45 won the international innovation and design competition at the international equipment manufacturers’ fair : DAME AWARD 2019 in its Hardware, Rigging & Sails category
Strengths
– Versatile ! A winch goes everywhere for sailboats from 20 to 40 feet (6 to 12 meters) which will appeal to both boaters and racers.
– The KCW45 has NO direct competitors. It only has advantages. Even its price is a nice surprise considering the performance offered.
– Very compact winch considering its power. The KCW45 is the power of a size 46 winch in the dimensions of a size 20 winch (130 mm base)!
– The major advantage of such power in a small winch is to divide the efforts by 2. The whole family will now be able to finish hoisting / tucking the sails.
– In addition to this power, we have chosen to design this winch with a very fast first speed. On a tack, a jibe, hoisting a sail, that makes a big difference
– In fact, this choice of speed and power ratio allows, for example, to hoist very quickly the first 2 thirds of a mainsail and effortlessly finish the last third until the final hauling.
– Despite its small size, the winch has 2 speeds and a self tailing (rare on size 20 and 30 winches)
