The Andersen 18 2-Speed Plain Top Stainless Steel Classic Winch is a product of enduring strength and everlasting finish. Every Andersen winch is made with the care and craftsmanship that come from more than sixty years of experience.

These winches are built to last, retaining their exceptional finish, and delivering season after season of reliable performance and sailing pleasure to their owner through the years. They incorporate the distinctive Power Rib™ which ensures a controlled grip on the line at all times, whether trimming or easing.

The highly polished stainless steel surface minimises vertical friction and allows the loaded rope turns to slide easily upward as the drum rotates, without the shuddering and excessive rope wear seen on winches that rely on a rough surface finish for grip.

The self-tailing arm can be rotated through 360 degrees for optimum positioning (40ST and larger). Stainless steel self-tailing jaws adjust automatically to suit various rope sizes.

Andersen winches are designed for simple, straightforward installation and maintenance. Servicing is only required every two years or so under normal use.
