Harken Performa™ winches combine the high-efficiency of the Radial line with the sandblasted grip of Harken carbon-fibre racing winches for powerful hybrids. Optimized to handle the high-strength line used on sportboats and performance cruisers, Performa winches are a great solution for crew who don’t wish to invest in carbon winches or who need racing winches in smaller sizes. All Performa™ winches feature sandblasted drums optimized for halyard and sheeting applications using small-diameter, high-tech line. Self-tailing winches have narrow composite jaws to ensure superior holding power on small-diameter line. The self-tailing mechanism on the winch means that one crew member can quickly and easily trim or raise sails.
