real improvement
A nearly 50-year-old boat with almost new two-speed winches – does that really make sense?

For me, absolutely.

Before, I had old 20-foot Parat winches with "Winsherns" – plastic rings around the upper winch disc that allowed you to clip the sheet in, basically a poor man's self-tailing winch.

The Andersen winches are true self-tailing winches, and two-speed ones at that.

And everything about them is fantastic.

They are smooth, safe, fast, and powerful, and don't have any "friction surface" that would put undue stress on the line.

A real upgrade. I couldn't get the genoa sheeted in this tight before.

superb mechanics
Works perfectly and better than the old barlows, fitted for the return of halyards, reefs, topping lift etc.

Unfortunately the product was defective. It was kindly sent in by SVB and sent to me after 2 weeks. Anything can happen. Staff is very friendly. Will continue to be a customer there.

Not exactly cheap but optically and technically excellent. Easy installation. Design of the Andersen winch drums perfect, no abrasion and no more overflows.

in my opinion the best winches! Sensational optics, enormous durability, great function - nothing else comes on my yachts! And the price at SVB is great, nowhere cheaper.

Perfect winch. No defectors because the parts are pushed up over the grooves. No abrasion
