Product Overview
It's not a winch, but a large ratcheting drum that can take the place of a small winch in many applications that have traditionally used a small winch. Sport Boats and other small sailboats can replace winches and ratchet blocks with SNUBBAir. The large diameter ratcheting drum offers more holding power than a ratchet block and allows the crew to use one wrap or two with easy cast off for faster tacks and gybes. The SNUBBAir weighs less than half the small winch is replaces and is 30% lower to the deck.
Features:
- Large Diameter deck mounted ratching drum that offers more line holding assistance than a ratchet block
- 30% lower to the deck, can be used to replaced higher profile heavier winches
- Integral threaded studs placed to match the bolt holes of the Harken B8A
- Two wraps or one easy cast off for quicker tacks or gybes
- Less than half the weight of the equivalent winch
