Harken knows winches. We make some of the lightest, most performance-capable, altogether mightiest winches on earth. There’s just one thing: our new SnubbAir isn’t one. Oh, you can certainly crank one with a winch handle. But there’s more. For instance: mount one far outboard…to control an enormous kite, blasting along
wave top to wave top. Then, just flick the sheet off and gybe. Rope-holding power, yes. Winch, no. Advantage, you.
SnubbAir. Call it a massive ratcheting deck sheave. Call it a line diverter. Call it cute. Just please, don’t call it a winch.
