Collection: Harken Grand prix winches

Harken Grand prix winches

Developed for the harshest conditions and most competitive races on earth, Harken carbon fiber racing winches are the choice of professionals and top tier racers alike. Winches feature carbon skirts and tops, aluminum drums, and strong composite jaws with one-piece sculpted line guide and peeler. PEEK roller bearings are low-maintenance, reliable, and efficient. They ride in large-diameter cages, allowing more bearings to carry the load. Stainless steel drive gears are strong and durable. If class rules dictate, winches are also available in all-aluminum with stainless steel gears. Product not stocked. Contact Harken to request quote and lead time.

Simple to install, easy maintenance

Stud mounting bolts allow fast installation. Drum removes easily with a flathead screwdriver. Snap-fit design keeps bearings captive when drum is removed for maintenance. Easy to disassemble for service on deck; socket, washer, and screw-top snap-fit together for mistake-free reassembly.

Adjustable stripper arm integrated into winch top for safer operation

Stripper arm completely covers rotating winch top, preventing fingers and clothing from catching in moving parts. Adjusts to multiple positions after the winch is mounted to optimize line exit.
