Harken 40 Self-Tailing Radial Chrome Winch – 2-Speed – 40.2STC

Upgrade your sail handling with the Harken 40.2STC Self-Tailing Radial Chrome Winch — a rugged, performance-oriented 2-speed winch engineered for smooth, efficient trimming and hauling on cruising and performance sailboats. Featuring a durable chrome-plated finish, this self-tailing winch offers excellent corrosion resistance and a polished look that enhances both functionality and aesthetics on deck.

The self-tailing mechanism provides secure line grip and effortless one-handed operation, reducing workload and improving safety while trimming sheets, hoisting halyards, or adjusting control lines.
