ANDERSEN 28 ST FS Two-Speed Stainless Sailboat Winch

The ANDERSEN 28 ST FS is a two-speed manual self-tailing winch for handling sheets and halyards aboard a sailboat. Its full-stainless construction gives the drum, self-tailer, and trim a consistent polished appearance. This design combines line-handling convenience with the corrosion resistance expected of deck hardware.

Vertical Power Rib grooves on the drum hold the sheet without using a coarse abrasive finish. The rib pattern is intended to provide a controlled release as line is eased under tension. On a winch that sees frequent tacks, smoother contact can help reduce wear on the running rigging. The polished stainless drum also gives the hardware a uniform appearance across the deck.

Two gears give the sailor a choice between faster line retrieval and greater mechanical advantage when the load increases. The self-tailing jaws hold the working line as the handle is turned, reducing the need for a second hand to manage the tail. Check winch size, deck mounting space, and sheet loads before selecting this model. Browse more sailing hardware.
