HARKEN #35 Two-Speed Performa Self-Tailing Winch

Harken Performa® winches are for racers and racer/cruisers using high-tech line who don’t wish to invest in a carbon winch.

The Performa Design

The Performa design combines the efficiency of Harken Radial winches with the sandblasted grip of its Carbon Fiber racing line for a powerful hybrid that transfers high loads to the winch with fewer wraps, letting crew trim and ease sails quickly and repeatedly as wind strength and directions change.

Sandblasted grip:

Performa winches feature sandblasted drums with diagonal ribs optimized for halyard and sheeting applications using high-tech line.

Composite bearings:

Snap-fit design keeps bearings captive in a high-strength Delrin® cage when drum is removed for maintenance. Composite roller and thrust bearings don’t require lubrication.

Self-tailing:

Narrow composite jaws are shaped for easy line entry and ensure superior holding power on small-diameter line. Spring-loaded upper jaw adjusts under line pressure to accept a variety of line sizes; teeth grip evenly with or without load. The stripper arm covers the winch top to prevent fingers and clothing from catching in rotating parts, and adjusts to multiple positions.
