Choose your Andersen Winchesİ to reflect the size of
your yacht and your sailing requirements. This chart is intended for masthead-rigged mono-hull yachts of medium
displacement. When choosing electric or hydraulic winches, the selection is similar to that of a manually operated winch.
Please note that this chart is based on standards and will not reflect all variables and differences in the large variety
of yacht types and sizes on the market.

Masthead Rigged. Please refer to the chart if your boat is of medium displacement.
Fractional Rigged. It`s recommended that you refer to the sail area, and not to the length of the yacht.
Heavy Displacement. The displacement must be taken into account. It is advisable to choose a winch larger than that stated in the chart.
Ultra Light Displacement. Should normally be able to select smaller winches but the righting moment must also be taken into account.
Multihulls. Catamarans, trimarans and other boats with increased righting moments should use winches with a higher power ratio.
