The Barton 'Wincher'

Rubber molding to convert plain top winch into a self-tailing winch.

This simple device fits over the plain top winch. Operation works when the line is sheeted under load, which means the coils climb up the winch drum and then become gripped by the underside of the Wincher’s rubber body. Cleating is achieved by locking the sheet into the Wincher’s ribbed central groove.

The Barton Winchers are easy to fit and available in four sizes to suit a wide range of popular winches. Full fitting instructions are included.

Compatible with:

• Antal W44, W47, W48
