Lewmar 30ST EVO® Self Tailing Winch Alloy - Chrome

The Lewmar 30ST EVO® Self Tailing Winch Alloy - Chrome is a professional-grade deck winch designed for serious sailors and cruisers who require reliable line handling in challenging conditions. This winch is perfect for managing sails on cruising yachts, controlling halyards on racing sailboats, or handling heavy mooring and docking operations.

The self-tailing design features a precision stripper that automatically grips and releases the working line, allowing one person to operate what traditionally required two crew members. Constructed from alloy with a chrome finish, this winch offers excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments while maintaining a weight of 12.75 lbs. Its compact dimensions of 7 x 7 x 9 inches make it suitable for installations where deck space is limited.

Sailors upgrading from manual systems will find the proven EVO design beneficial, as it incorporates smooth bearing action and a hard-anodized, chrome-plated exterior that withstands UV exposure and salt spray. This winch is ideal for a variety of applications, including halyards, sheets, and mooring lines, making it a versatile choice for mid-range and larger cruising sailboats.
