Key Features

• Radial Drum Geometry The drum features diagonal ribs shaped specifically for chrome to maximize grip while minimizing line wear. This patented design ensures controlled easing and secure trimming, even under high loads.
• Self-Tailing Mechanism The integrated self-tailer allows one crew member to trim or hoist sails with ease. The adjustable upper jaw accommodates a wide range of line diameters, maintaining a firm grip and reducing the need for manual tailing.
• All-Chrome Finish The polished chrome drum and base offer excellent corrosion resistance and a premium aesthetic that complements both modern and classic yachts.
• Two-Speed Power Dual gear ratios provide mechanical advantage for heavy loads and fast trimming. The lower gear delivers torque for grinding, while the higher gear allows rapid line retrieval.
• Maintenance-Friendly Design Composite roller bearings and snap-off skirts make seasonal servicing straightforward. No lubrication is required, and installation is simple—even for single-handed setups.

Ideal Applications

• Cruising Yachts: Simplifies sail handling for short-handed crews.
• Performance Sailors: Offers precise control and efficient trimming.
• Modern Decks: Chrome finish adds a sleek, professional look.
• Headsail & Halyard Control: Excellent for genoa sheets, mainsail halyards, and reefing lines.
