Speed 52 winch (KSW52) with a stainless steel drum instead of the alloy version. All the benefits of the KSW52 for our customers looking for a more traditional aesthetic.
The KSW52 is an innovative and very (very) efficient 4-speed automatic winch : 2 speeds identical to other winches on the market PLUS 2 additional extremely fast speeds. The speed change takes place as on a traditional winch by changing the direction of rotation. The winch automatically returns to 1st gear when you release the tension. The KSW is more of a winch dedicated to sailors.
When maneuvering, the difference is just incredible : the line is “swallowed” 6 times faster than a winch of a similar size. Many sailors have already adopted it and are gaining ground with each maneuver : sending of sails, gybes, tacking, … These manual winches are so quick that you no longer have to pick up slack in the line on the fly. The maneuvers are safe and fast, the sails wear less, the boat loses less speed, … 6 times faster = 6 times less crank turn to give. The KSW is simply the fastest winch on the market !
Strengths -
– 2 winches in 1 : 2 standard speeds and 2 additional very high speed speeds
– This is not a chrome drum but a shiny polished 316L stainless steel drum Beautiful, solid, durable.
– 6 times faster than other winches on the market (equivalent headstock size) : 1 turn of the crank = 65 cm against 15 cm (30 cm on a 3-speed winch)
– The fastest winch on the market. No Equal for Equal Size
– A formidable weapon for any racer looking to maneuver faster.
– Listening is never resumed by hand. A saving of precious time in turns and gybes for solo skippers or small crews.
