Time-tested winch evolves to answer the needs of sailors, cruisers, and racers alike.
Lewmar has been evolving and improving winch technology for almost half a century. Since the 1960s, Lewmar has developed winch solutions for sailors, the world’s leading boatbuilders, and racing teams alike. Evolution never stops: Lewmar has upgraded its Ocean Winch, the most popular winch ever made, and further improved it.
The new EVO® winch is a culmination of years of knowledge and understanding of what the sailing community wants. Cruising sailors wish to a proven, high-quality winch that the boat owner can service without any special tools. They wanted to be able to assemble the winch themselves, and they also sought a reliable and predictable grip. Racing sailors liked the alloy, needle-peened finish of Lewmar’s winches. Their only request was that they’d like it in black, so now EVO® Winches are available in black, gray, and chrome bronze finishes. Boatbuilders seek a robust, dependable winch that can accommodate changes in boat design. No compromises have been made in terms of quality or integrity of design. You won’t find much plastic here; instead, you'll find high-quality alloys and metals.
EVOlutionary features include:
Self-Tailing: Tailing and grinding simultaneously can be a challenge. Each EVO® winch is self-tailing and features an intuitive, top-mounted stainless steel feeder arm to prevent rope entanglement and guide the line onto a gripping wave spring jaw. The position of the feeder can be adjusted to match the application. The wave spring jaw automatically adjusts to different line diameters within the range and can serve as a cleat for sheets.
Simple servicing: No tools are required to service an EVO® winch. Unscrew the top cap with your fingers to remove the drum, providing access to the proven gear train. Each internal component is unique to prevent incorrect reassembly of the winch; it can only be assembled one way.
Electrifying: EVO® winches #40 and larger can be converted to electric power using a conversion kit. The conversion is ideal for short-handed sailing or to take a more civilized approach to cruising. Keep in mind that the motor consumes a significant amount of space below the winch.
Seven-year warranty: With an aggressive in-house testing program, Lewmar is so confident in the quality of their new EVO® winches that they back them up with a comprehensive seven-year warranty.
To stay on top, Lewmar evolved by responding to the needs of the sailing community. The EVO® winch design is the result of listening to sailors, boatbuilders, and racers who wanted an intuitive, serviceable, and adaptable winch. Refer to the selection guide and specification sheets below to determine which EVO® model is best suited for your application.
