Self-tailing sailboat winch RA6402

2-speedaluminium

Lightweight aluminium winch with QuickTrim™ self-tailer, 2 speeds, and Power Ribs™ for controlled grip on the line at all times. FEATURES Sprung self-tailing jaws to accept 7 - 12mm line. QuickTrim™ patented self-tailing feature for rapid sail trim and smooth adjustment. Ball bearings carry the thrust loads, roller bearings carry the radial loads of the drum to minimise rotational friction. Proven Andersen winch gearing configuration. Power Rib™ ensures a controlled grip on the line at all times, whether trimming or easing. Minimal rope wear compared to more abrasive drum surface finishes. No tools required for configuration and servicing. Machined aluminium drum – stronger and lighter than traditional cast aluminium drums. Aluminium centre stem, lighter weight compared to bronze stems. Low line entry due to gearing configuration geometry. INTRODUCING QUICKTRIM™ The innovative QuickTrim™ self tailer allows sailors to easily and safely ease line tension to make minor sail trim adjustments without having to remove the winch handle or take the line out of the self-tailer. Racing sailors can react and respond instantly to minor changes in wind direction or steering, providing an unmatched advantage when frequent sail trim adjustments are required. It’s also a nice convenience for cruising sailors. On the water, using QuickTrim™ is intuitive and quickly becomes second nature. With one hand on the tail of the sheet, rotating the top cover of the winch anti-clockwise against spring pressure allows the self tailer to turn beneath it like a sheave as the rope is eased out, with smooth grip and control assured by the drum surface and Power Ribs™.
