Self-tailing winches Antal XT. Overview of solutions

Winches are essential on every watercraft. They are used for pulling ropes, mooring lines, towing chains onto the deck, as well as for tightening and loosening ropes. In practice, they are a kind of "reel" that facilitates work and somewhat relieves the sailor while steering the boat, as they allow for reducing the force needed to handle the rigging. Additionally, they prevent the rope from excessive tension, which can directly affect the stability of the yacht in strong winds.

Proper functioning of the winch is therefore crucial for the smooth and safe operation of the watercraft. It is very important to appropriately match the tool to the specifics of the task at hand. This primarily concerns the size of the winch, but also the specific model. In this entry, we will focus on self-tailing winches Antal XT, which are available in our offer.
