ANDERSEN

Smooth, powerful sail handling

Winches do the hard work of trimming sails, and Andersen builds premium stainless steel winches known for smooth power and exceptional grip. The distinctive ribbed stainless steel drum grips the line securely even when wet or under heavy load, and the all-stainless construction resists corrosion and lasts. Andersen offers winches in a range of sizes and styles, including self-tailing models, plus the parts, handles, and accessories to support them. For sailors who want top-tier winches that handle sheets and halyards smoothly and grip in all conditions, Andersen is a respected, high-quality choice trusted on cruising and racing boats alike.

Choosing the right winch comes down to your boat and the load. Size the winch to the loads of your sails and boat, with larger, higher-power winches for bigger boats and heavier loads. Consider a self-tailing winch, which holds the line for you and makes single-handed trimming much easier. Match the winch to its application, primary, secondary, or halyard, and confirm mounting fits your boat. Review the product details and your rig before buying. With Andersen winches, you handle sail with smooth, powerful, grippy performance that lasts.
