Barton composite winches & the Barton 'Wincher'

Barton composite winches

A versatile alternative to conventional aluminium winches, the Barton range of composite winches offer significant cost and weight savings and are truly low maintenance.

Virtually self-lubricating, friction-free and corrosion resistant, the ingenious use of advanced materials ensure consistent performance and reliability.

  • Three models available – a single-speed 8:1 and two
    twin-speeds; 16:1 and 23:1
  • Suitable as primaries for yachts up to 10m (30ft) or as
    spinnaker/halyard winches on larger craft
  • Red, blue and green coloured top rings are included,
    giving you the ability to colour-code winches to control
    lines, port or starboard, or just to match the colour
    scheme of your boat
  • Comprehensive spares kits available.

Cleating Self-Tailing

Cleating...

To cleat, lock sheet into ribbed groove.

Self-Tailing

For self-tailing, the entire winch must be stacked with line.

Snubber winches

Neat, lightweight units which are ideal for use on larger dinghies and dayboats. Manufactured from glass fibre reinforced nylon with anodised aluminium ribs.

The Barton 'Wincher'

A specially designed rubber moulding which fits over the top of standard winches, converting them to self-tailing.

This simple operation works when the line is sheeted under load, which means the coils climb up the winch drum and then become gripped by the underside of the Wincher's rubber body.

Cleating is achieved by locking the sheet into the Wincher's ribbed central groove.

Barton 'Winchers' are easy to fit and available in four sizes to suit a wide range of popular winches.

Full fitting instructions are included.
