Simple Servicing
No tools are required to service a Lewmar winch. Simply unscrew the top cap with your fingers to removed the needle peen drum and gain access to the center stem.

Speed, Power & Racing Gear Ratios
Racing winches require a combination of speed and power gear trains, which are customized to suit the demands of the world’s top racers. Lewmar offers a wide range of models and ratios developed after many years of experience within a wide range of classes. Whether you are Grand Prix racing, or blasting through the Southern Ocean, Lewmar has the complete range of racing models to suit your needs.

Needle Peen Drum
The Racing Winch’s drum profile is optimised for maximum grip but minimum rope wear, while using heat treated alloy ensures optimum strength and lightweight construction

Carbon Pedestal
Careful composite engineering has provided the lightest pedestal yet. Manufactured using the latest resin systems pioneered in the F1 industry.

Speed Ring
The Speed Ring offers faster line speeds and greater flexibility with its contoured drum profile. It allows a dual purpose winch for example in cabin top applications, giving fast speed for spinnaker trim, as well as efficient power for halyard tension. It is available in four sizes. The profile also allows for transfer of sheets from Speed Ring to the powerdrum.

The Self-Tailing Solution
Reducing diameters of hi-tech racing lines requires self-tailing jaws that really grip. Lewmar’s ‘Wavespring’ solution — a sprung jaw combined with a wavegrip pattern — ensures these lines are fully under control. The use of angled teeth ensures a clean exit for the line at the stripper arm.

Mounting Instructions 5 x M8 (5/16 in) c’sk head screws on 150mm (5 29/32 in) PCD. Lewmar recommend that the rope enters onto the drum at an angle of 5º to 10º to the base axis of the winch. To achieve this angle it may be necessary to use a base wedge when installing the winch. This product is Made to Order.
