DESCRIPTION

Assymetric Rib Technology - ART The drums we are using for our new manual and electric winches are forged and machined hard anodised aluminium with vertical ribs located in an asymmetric pattern. Any line under load will become slightly dented where it rests over a rib and if all ribs were located symmetrically, all dents would simultaneously jump to the next rib when releasing the line. And the next one, and the next one…

FEATURES

  • Ribs placed asymmetrical provide a strong grip and a harmonious release and the interaction between the ART drum and the self-tailer strikes the perfect balance of grip and function.
  • Tacking and gybing made easy.
  • The S-series simplifies the manoeuvre of tacking and makes the handling of a highly loaded sheet safer and quicker.
  • The grip on the winch drum combined with a unique self-tailer enables the trimmer to pull the slack out of the sheet with the line sitting in the self-tailer and with the winch handle in position.
  • A great advantage for the racing sailor who can pre-load the sheet into the self-tailer of the windward winch prior to tacking and then sheet home and set the trim of the jib instantly on the new tack.
  • Simply pull in the slack and turn the handle a turn or two to get full tension.
