It combines all the convenience and power ofANDERSEN's self-tailing winchwith a stunning all stainless steel look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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. We like to say, Full Stainless  Beyond Good Looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with all ANDERSEN Winches, our Full Stainless Self-Tailing winch features the exclusive stainless steel Power Rib drum for maximum power and extended line life.

The resulting construction is lightweight, yet stiff and unyielding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrive 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper center stems are manufactured from aluminum 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 winces are of similar weight to winches with aluminum drums, but are far more durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Rib\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANDERSEN Winches feature the Power Rib. Unlike other winches with abrasive drum surfaces, ANDERSEN winch drums have vertical ribs running up the surface. This combined with the smooth polished stainless steel gives a maximum grip and minimum wear on ropes, reducing the replacements costs of sheets and halyards. What's more, the Power Rib principle simply makes sailing more pleasurable. Fewer turns on the winch make tacking easier. Sheets can be gently eased out without harsh snatching and the risks of overrides and jammed sheets are significantly reduced. The grip provided by the ribs will remain the same year after year, unlike many other winches with an abrasive or sandpaper-like surface. Such surfaces have a tendency to wear down both ropes and themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Ratio is the mechanical advantage of the winch and is calculated as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elength of handle x gear ratio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    radius of drum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pull of the winch is based on the Power Ratio and not just on the physical size of the winch or the diameter of the drum. The Power Ratio is used to determine the load the winch may handle as follows:pull of handle (kg x Power Ratio = pull of winch (kg).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis means that by applying a load of 10kg, using a 10\" standard handle, on a Power Ratio 40:1 winch, the winch can pull 400kg, assuming that the winch is 100% efficient. This is not possible in practice as the efficiency is reduced by internal mechanical friction losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnderson winch drums 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 minimizes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStainless steel roller bearings and ball bearings carry the highest drum loads to the center stem of the winch, minimizing efficiency losses due to friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe self tailing arm can be rotated through 360 degrees for optimum positioning (40ST and larger).
