Harken Performa winches are for racers and racer/cruisers using high-tech line who don’t wish to invest in a carbon winch.
【The Performa Design】
The Performa design combines the efficiency of Harken Radial winches with the sandblasted grip of its Carbon Fiber racing line for a powerful hybrid that transfers high loads to the winch with fewer wraps, letting crew trim and ease sails quickly and repeatedly as wind strength and directions change.
【Sandblasted grip】
Performa winches feature sandblasted drums with diagonal ribs optimized for halyard and sheeting applications using high-tech line.
【Composite bearings】
Snap-fit design keeps bearings captive in a high-strength DelrinR cage when drum is removed for maintenance. Composite roller and thrust bearings don’t require lubrication.
【Plain top】
Use on sportboats where sails require frequent trimming and saving weight is important.
