Need a device to make single handed sailing easier?

A close-up view of an electric boat winch with a red and black casing, featuring control buttons and a handle for operation, designed for single handed sailing.

The Powerwincher electric winch handle will make sailing easier and less effort for the single handed and short-handed sailor.  The new Powerwincher SOLO restrainer with remote control is your new crew to help you be in two places at once!

This powerful machine takes all the hard work out of winch winding and many other applications so you can enjoy your single handed sailing.

This powerful and heavy-duty electric winching device effectively converts most sail boat winches to electric facilitating huge savings for the single handed sailing.

Powerwincher will do anything you can do with a manual winch handle, but better and faster!

Our Powerwincher, often called the “crew” as it can replace the need for extra crew which is a perfect mate for the sailor who loves single handed sailing.  The new Powerwincher SOLO attachment with remote control allows you to secure the Powerwincher in the winch to the halyard or sheet and operate hands free using the remote control. 
This is especially useful for many actions such as:

  • when feeding the main into the mast to allow you to use two hands;
  • when the winch being used is more than arms distance from the job at hand;
  • hoisting the dinghy onto the deck using a halyard winch which allows you to use two hands and operate at a distance from the winch;
  • setting up a tacking winch to be operated hands free from the helm.  Often a Solo Sailor can't be in two places at once.

POWERWINCHER SOLO

  • Designed for hands free Powerwincher operation
  • Operated with remote control handpiece
  • Quick fit, adjustable height to suit different winch sizes
  • Cast aluminium Solo bracket
  • Ideal for hoisting or reefing main and headsails, dinghy lifting and many other uses

The simplistic controls on the Powerwincher allow the sailor to control the speed to help control the torque or to change direction for two speed winches. As the torque loads up and makes the Powerwincher harder to handle, the sailor can reduce the speed so the Powerwincher remains under control. In the event the torque is too much to handle, simply release the red button and the Powerwincher will stop. Easy for the single handed sailor.
Single handed sailors love the Powerwincher because it helps to share the load, makes sailing easy!
