Its lightweight machined aluminum construction combines proven Andersen winch gearing with Power Ribs for confident grip, smooth easing, and reduced rope wear during demanding sailing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe patented QuickTrim self-tailer allows the line to be eased without removing the winch handle or taking the rope out of the self-tailer. A small counterclockwise rotation of the self-tailing cover lets the self-tailer turn beneath it like a sheave while the rope is eased. Releasing the cover returns it to the locked position for normal use.
