All that cockpit floor… no pile of mainsheet tail. It takes a little getting used to.
But it is something you will get over.
Your eye follows the mainsheet as it descends from the boom and disappears through a single small hole in the deck. Below, a new breed of Harken electric reel winch takes control. Properly sized for boats from 15–25 m, these Harken captives pull up to 3 tons. They deliver line speeds of 65 meters/minute—in or out. What’s more, they weigh less than 45 kg and mount in a compact
350 mm-by-500 mm footprint. Main trimmers, it’s time to take off the gloves and get to work.
