Power Rib^©

Major Effect with Minor Effort

Get a Grip

ANDERSEN Winches© feature the Power Rib©. Unlike other winches with abrasive drum surfaces, ANDERSEN winch drums have vertical ribs running up the surface. This combined with the smooth polished stainless steel gives a maximum grip and minimum wear on ropes, reducing the replacements costs of sheets and halyards. What’s more, the Power Ribprinciple simply makes sailing more pleasurable. Fewer turns on the winch make tacking easier. Sheets can be gently eased out without harsh snatching and the risks of overrides and jammed sheets are significantly reduced. The grip provided by the ribs will remain the same year after year, unlike many other winches with an abrasive or sandpaper-like surface. Such surfaces have a tendency to wear down both ropes and themselves.

It’s all about protecting your investment. With ANDERSEN Winches, this protection is guaranteed, as the drum maintains its grip year after year. Keeping wear and tear to a minimum also helps maintain resale value, and our 3-year warranty and instant service in more than 30 countries worldwide amount to a benchmark standard.

Low maintenance is a key — and with ANDERSEN Winches, you can take it for granted. Our winches require less maintenance, since all

pawls and springs are captive, and the design of the winch allows you to strip it down for service and greasing.

The materials used in winches are crucial — and ANDERSEN Winches are made from the best materials available. The aluminum-bronze alloy base plate is approximately 2 1/2 times stronger than traditional bronze. The pawls, made from machined AISI 316 cold-pressed stainless steel, are so strong that the winches never risk backing off.
