Barton Marine Medium Wincher Pair

The Barton Marine Medium Wincher Pair transforms any standard winch into a self-tailing system, eliminating the need for a dedicated crew member to manage line tension. After years on the water, serious sailors and boaters recognize that efficient winch systems save time, reduce fatigue, and improve safety during critical maneuvers—whether you're racing, cruising, or handling heavy loads in demanding conditions. This proven design has earned a loyal following among competitive and recreational sailors alike.

Each Barton Marine Medium Wincher in the pair features a specially engineered rubber molding that grips your rope automatically as it feeds through the winch drum. The self-tailing action locks the line in place without slipping, allowing single-handed operation during sail changes, jib trimming, and sheet management. The medium size suits boats in the 30–50 foot range and works with both traditional and modern winch designs. Manufactured to exacting standards, the rubber compound withstands UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, and repeated high-load cycles typical of extended offshore and coastal sailing.

Sailors operating cruising yachts, race boats, and commercial fishing vessels benefit most from the Barton Marine Medium Wincher Pair when winches handle halyards, sheets, or outhaul systems. Installation is straightforward—simply position the wincher over your existing winch drum and secure it using the integrated mounting points. The pair allows you to equip both primary and secondary winches, or to replace worn units on larger systems. Compatible with standard marine winches from major manufacturers, these winchers require no modification to your deck hardware and deliver immediate improved handling characteristics.
