Harken Performa™ Plain-Top Winch

Harken Performa winches combine the high efficiency of the Radial line with the sandblasted grip of Harken carbon-fiber racing winches for powerful hybrids. Optimized to handle the high-strength line used on sportboats and performance cruisers, Performa winches are a great solution for crews who don’t wish to invest in carbon winches or who need racing winches in smaller sizes.
