Barton Pair Wincher
Turn Your Winch into a Self-Tailing Winch
Barton Winchers are specially molded rubber collars designed to easily convert a standard (cleating) winch into a practical self-tailing winch—without the need to replace the entire winch.
By fitting the Wincher over the top of your winch, a loaded line is guided up the drum and automatically gripped by the central grooved section of the rubber collar. This allows the sheet to be held securely without the need for external cleats or jammers.
