Andersen Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winches

Andersen Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winches.

From top to bottom the drive shaft stripper arm, self-tailing jaws, drum and upper & lower trim rings are manufactured in highest quality and beautifully polished grade 316 stainless steel. The dramatic result is a highly reflective winch that becomes a highlight of the boat and a true reflection of your yachting pride.

Every Andersen winch is made with the care and craftsmanship that come from more than fifty years of experience. Andersen winches are built to last, to retain their exceptional finish and to deliver season after season of reliable performance and sailing pleasure to their owner through the years.

Materials: Andersen winch drums are produced from grade 316L stainless steel, cold formed in stages during manufacture to further increase strength and hardness as it takes its final form. The resulting construction is lightweight, yet stiff and unyielding. Drive shafts are in grade 329 duplex stainless steel. Pawls are cut from a cold pressed profile in grade 316 stainless steel and are virtually unbreakable. The upper centre stems of Andersen winches are manufactured from  aluminium bronze for ultimate durability. The combination of materials and design contribute to a lightweight, rigid final assembly that  enhances the mechanical efficiency of the winch. Andersen winches are of similar weight to winches with aluminium drums, but are far more durable.
