Harken HKW50.2STC Winch Radial Self-Tailing Chrome

The Harken HKW50.2STC Winch Radial Self-Tailing Chrome is a groundbreaking addition to our Radial Winch line, setting new standards for performance and ease of use.

A key feature of the Radial Winch is the reduced wear on the line. The gripping surfaces are expertly shaped to eliminate reliance on friction, resulting in less wear and longer line life.

Safety is enhanced by the full coverage of the winch tops, which prevents fingers and clothing from being caught in moving parts during operation, ensuring a safer sailing experience.

Seasonal maintenance is streamlined with a top that lifts out as a single unit. This design allows for quick, mistake-free reassembly, reducing the time and effort required to maintain the winch.

The unique grip mechanism of the Radial works similarly to a screw, driving the line downward during easing, which helps maintain control of the line on the drum.

Composite roller bearings and bushings minimize friction under load, offer excellent corrosion resistance, and eliminate the need for lubrication, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions.

Thanks to its lightweight design, the winch is 25 to 50 percent lighter than conventional alternatives, making it easier to handle without compromising strength.

The chrome version of the Radial winch features a distinct grip pattern compared to its Aluminium counterpart. The ribs on the chrome version are spaced closer together to increase friction, compensating for the naturally slick surface of chrome. This optimized grip pattern provides superior control, particularly for trimming and easing the sail.
