The ANDERSEN 12 ST FS Self-Tailing Manual Single Speed Winch (RA2012010000) is a premium, full stainless steel sailing winch designed for exceptional durability, strength, and smooth performance. Engineered for serious sailors, this compact yet powerful winch delivers reliable sheet handling for cruising yachts and performance sailboats.
Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the ANDERSEN 12 ST FS offers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh marine environments. Its self-tailing system allows for efficient single-handed operation, reducing workload and improving onboard safety.
Full Stainless Steel (FS): Unlike chrome-plated winches, Andersen winches are made of solid stainless steel that won't flake, peel, or corrode.
Power Rib™ Technology: Provides a vertical ribbed surface that ensures a secure grip on the line with fewer wraps, while allowing the rope to slide up the drum easily during tailing.
Self-Tailing Simplicity: The integrated self-tailing arm allows for effortless single-handed operation, automatically gripping the line as you crank.
Low Maintenance: Requires only occasional cleaning and greasing; the modular design allows for easy servicing without removing the winch from the deck.
Lightweight Durability: The internal drive gears are engineered for high loads without adding unnecessary weight.
