Harken Performa winches are for racers and cruisers who use high-tech line who dont want to invest in a carbon winch, or who need smaller sized winches.
The Performa design combines the efficiency of Harken Radial winches with the sandblasted grip of its Carbon Fiber racing winch for a powerful hybrid. Sandblasted drum with diagonal ribs engineered for halyard and sheeting applications using smaller high-tech racing line. Spring-loaded upper jaw adjusts under line pressure to accept a variety of line sizes; teeth grip evenly with or without load. Self-tailing winches transfer high loads to the winch with fewer wraps, allowing a single crew member to trim and ease sails quickly.
