Seldén takes an even stronger grip on the deck hardware market by introducing a whole new range of manually operated winches. They are reversible! This patented new feature gives a new dimension to the concept of winches.
The winches are of self tailing type with two gears forward. You start winching clock wise on the fast gear, shift down to low gear by rotating the winch handle anti clock wise. So far, exactly as we are all used to.
The ingenious feature with the new Seldén winches is that you can let the rope out by reversing the winch drum. The purpose made winch handle has a knob which is pushed down with your thumb to prepare the winch for reverse drive. The winch handle is rotated clock wise and the rope is eased out. The rope remains in the self tailing jaws all the time which means it’s a one hand operation to trim the sheet, the halyard or the windward guy.
Fast trim is a great advantage for the racing sailor!
For the family cruising sailor, one handed operation means safety – no hands are even close to the drum when easing out the rope. In rough conditions you can hold on with your free hand. Single handed sailors can steer and trim at the same time
The Seldén reversible winches will be available for distribution during spring 2011.
