MANUAL Self-Tailing Winches

If you take pride in having your yacht look its best, ANDERSEN's Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winch creates the dock-stopping appeal you desire. It combines all the convenience and power of ANDERSEN's self-tailing winch with a stunning all stainless steel look.

From top to bottom the drive shaft stripper arm, self-tailing jaws, drum and upper & lower trim rings are manufactured in highest quality and beautifully polished grade 316 stainless steel. The dramatic result is a highly reflective winch that becomes a highlight of the boat and a true reflection of your yachting pride. We like to say, Full Stainless - Beyond Good Looks.

Andersen Electric Winches 

Take the hard work out of your sailing time with ANDERSEN's Electric Winches. They allow you to raise the sails or trim the sheets with the push of a button to expand the range of weather conditions in which you can safely set sail. If you enjoy short-handed sailing or have a large, hard-to-control mainsail or genoa, electric winches are a great choice.

Easily user installed and maintained, Andersen electric winches can be installed in the same position as your current winches by removing the old winches, drilling matching holes for the winch and motor drive, and making the electrical connections.

Andersen Electric Winches come in E1 Single speed, Two speed and Three speed models.

Compact Motor™ Electric Winches

Andersen Compact Motor™ electric winches allow you to hoist and trim sails at the push of a button regardless of physical strength, so any crew member can easily and safely trim sails and control lines.

Ease of installation
The Andersen Compact Motor™ electric winch is available in two formats for either Above Deck or Below Deck motor placement. Motor gearbox and controller are integrated into one compact unit with no extra control box necessary. Simplified electrical installation requires just the connection of positive and negative power cables to the motor terminals and the connection of the push button using the included output cable.

Efficient, variable speed
The Andersen Compact Motor™ is a brushless DC motor carefully matched to a low profile planetary gearbox which requires less space for installation, and draws considerably less current than traditional motor/gearbox configurations. Available in 12 volt and 24 volt models, Compact Motor™ electric winches operate at variable speed in proportion to the pressure applied to the push button, for smooth and quiet operation.

Classic Winches 

Whether you have a smaller yacht, or are just looking for that traditional look, Andersen Classic Winches provide hallmark quality and performance in a simple non self-tailing configuration.

Single and two speed models, suiting conventional top mounted handles are available in sizes 10 to 46 providing a perfect economical solution for trailerable yachts and small keel boats where constant trimming is required.

Traditionally styled, low profile Classic Winches are single speed and available with included base-mounted or below-deck handle configurations. They are standard equipment on many popular classic sailboats of up to 2 ton displacement, including Dragons, H-boats and Folkboats where their beautifully polished finish complements that of the craft.

Electric Conversion Kits

Converting your winch from manual to electric motor-driven operation is easy using ANDERSEN's Electric Conversion Kits. Available in either E1 single speed, Electric Two Speed, or Compact Motor™ Variable Speed power units, our conversion kits can be fitted to most modern ANDERSEN Winches™ ranging from size 28ST to 110ST and are available in 12V or 24V.

Installation is straight forward with all kits including everything you need to do-it-yourself, or have your preferred yard do it for you. A comprehensive installation manual, templates, push button and cable terminals are provided in every kit. Our comprehensive network of Distributors and resellers are always available to answer any question regarding the right conversion kit and installation process for your specific ANDERSEN Winch™.
