Key Features:
QuickTrim™ Self-Tailing Technology
- Effortless Sail Trim Adjustments: The QuickTrim™ patented self-tailing feature allows sailors to ease line tension for fine sail trim adjustments without removing the winch handle or line from the self-tailer.
- Intuitive & Responsive: Perfect for racing sailors needing instant reactions to wind shifts and for cruising sailors seeking convenience.
- How It Works: Rotate the top cover anti-clockwise to ease the line with smooth grip and control. Release the cover, and the self-tailer automatically locks the line in place.
Power Ribs™ for Ultimate Line Control
- Superior Grip with Minimal Wear: The Power Ribs™ drum design ensures excellent grip, reducing the number of wraps needed while preventing line damage.
- Smoother Operation: Promotes even line movement to prevent riding turns and ensures controlled easing under high loads.
- Enhanced Rope Longevity: The nonabrasive drum surface protects running rigging for long-lasting performance.
Three-Speed Mode for Maximum Efficiency
- Fast Line Retrieval: A high-speed first gear (1.4:1 ratio) allows for rapid line adjustments during trimming or hoisting sails.
- Precise Control Under Load: Shift to second and third gears for greater mechanical advantage and smooth handling of heavy loads.
- Easy Gear Shifting: Push the top button for first gear; turn the handle clockwise or anti-clockwise to toggle between second and third gears as needed.
Durable & Lightweight Design
