Redefining load management on large sailing yachts

Harken Captive Reel Captive Winches are 10% to 20% smaller in size than similarly configured winches. Captives come in 1.5T, 3T, 6T, 9T, 12T, 16T MWL and can be customized to handle larger loads. Standard-sized drums are available in numerous lengths. Access for maintenance is well thought out, with 90% of the components located on one side of the winch. Tensioners can be mounted underdeck, on deck, or on their side for through-deck mounting. In-line tensioners and running tricing line winches are also available.

Twin Feeder Screws
Twin Feeder Screws
The feeder transmission features twin feeder screws to balance the load on the feeder sheave assembly. Self-lubricating lead screw and sheave allow line to lie smoothly on the drum, even when slack.

Double-screw design positions screws close to the drum, reducing winch size by 10%-20% over similarly configured winches.


Proximity Switches
Redundant Proximity Switches
Two inner magnetic switches factory set at the feeder's stroke limits prevent over-travel. Two outer fail-safe limit switches automatically engage the brake.
Precise Gearing
Precise Gearing
Using a synchronized transmission, four gears drive the twin feeder screws. Adjust line size by changing two gear sets on the motor end of the winch.

Precise gearing provides even line take-up and release.

Lightweight Design
Open-ended design
Winch frame and open-ended drum are 6061 Hardkote-anodized aluminum to reduce weight.
The gear cover is carbon fiber.
Control Manifolds
Control Manifolds
Manifold contains counterbalance valves that control the load while easing. Valve circuits have anti-cavitation checks on A and B lines.
Tensioner Manifolds
Tensioner Manifolds
Line tensioner removes slack when loading and unloading line on the spool. Tensioners can be installed above deck, belowdeck, or through-deck. In-line tensioners are also available.
