S-SERIES 2-speed self-tailing winches
S30, S40, S46, S52, S60, S66
A new work horse, already praised by both racing and cruising sailors after two years of sea trials. The interaction between the ART drum and the self-tailer strikes the perfect balance of grip and function.
Tacking and gybing made easy
The S-series simplifies the manoeuvre of tacking and makes the handling of a highly loaded sheet safer and quicker. The grip on the winch drum combined with a unique self-tailer enables the trimmer to pull the slack out of the sheet with the line sitting in the self-tailer and with the winch handle in position. A great advantage for the racing sailor who can pre-load the sheet into the self-tailer of the windward winch prior to tacking and then sheet home and set the trim of the jib instantly on the new tack. Simply pull in the slack and turn the handle a turn or two to get full tension. The cruising sailor will appreciate simpler and safer manoeuvres by not having to hand hold a tensioned sheet whilst trying to load it into the self-tailer and searching around for the winch handle.
Replace your old winches without drilling new holes in your boat
Optional adaptor plates with threaded and anodised holes for the Seldén S-winch are available. Use your old winch as a template to mark positions of your existing holes, drill, countersink the holes, apply grease to the bolts and fit the adaptor plate to deck. The Seldén winch fits on top with fasteners included in the kit. The plate is hard anodised black aluminium of the same diameter as the S-winch you are installing.
Seldén Race GRIP
The patented Race GRIP handle is designed with the most logical location of the locking mechanism – on the sides! Long release levers on the sides of the handle are pushed in as you grab the handle. This will turn the locking plate so that the handle can be engaged and disengaged rapidly.
Standard
The standard handles are featuring a thumb-switch and are available in lengths of 8 or 10 inches. Rigid crank arm and a low friction knob get the job done efficiently.
Electric upgrades for S-winches
If you wish to upgrade your S-winch to electric drive, just install the motor pack and fit your existing winch on top of it.
