Yacht Winches

Yacht winches are larger and more robust than standard sailboat winches, designed to handle the increased loads and demands of big boats.

When choosing a sailboat winch, you can consider things like:
Weight: The weight of the winch is important. Winches are heavy and can offset the balance of smaller boats.
Pulling power: The pulling power of the winch.
Line Diameter: The diameter of the line or sheet you are planning on using. It should fit the winch's self-tailer jaws.
