Antal Manual Winches: Excellence in Every Maneuver
The Antal manual winch range provides high-precision solutions for every type of sailboat. Whether you need the lightweight simplicity of a standard model or the advanced technology of the XT Self-Tailing series, Antal ensures an exceptional power-to-weight ratio and proven durability at sea.
1. Standard Winches (Non Self-Tailing)
Designed for simplicity and efficiency, these winches are available in two series based on your boat size:
- 1-speed direct series (W6, W7, W8): For boats up to 6-7 meters. Available in resin (W6), hard-anodized aluminum (W7), or AISI 316 stainless steel (W8).
- 2-speed series (W16, W32): For boats up to 10 meters. Features one direct speed for fast recovery and one geared speed for power. Built with bronze bases and aluminum or chrome drums.
2. Classic XT Self-Tailing Winches
The XT series is the benchmark for comfort and performance, featuring a system that automatically adjusts to your line diameter:
- 1-speed models (XT16, XT30): Geared ratio for maximum power from the first turn.
- 2-speed models (XT16.2 to XT76): Allows for fast winching followed by high-power trimming by simply reversing the rotation. Perfect for racing and high-end cruising.
- 3-speed models (XT62.3 to XT76.3): The pinnacle of technology. An ultra-fast first gear engaged via a push-button, followed by two automatic gears for total control under extreme loads.
