Antal winches

[Peter]

Looking to buy some Antal ST winches, as slightly cheaper than Lewmar and co. Anyone got any of these winches and how do they compare with Lewmar or others.

Thanks for you comments

Peter

I have had Antals on my last 3 boats. They are cheap and effective.
I have the W30AST 2 speed self tailers for my 2 coacjhroof winches. No problems at all, entering 3rd year of service.
The bolt pattern is not the same as Harken though!

Ring the Antal agent (somewhere near Soton) They will offer you a good deal.
I have Antal clutches too. Not as good as the Harken gear, but again, just over 1/2 price. They do work effectively, just the action does not feel as good.

Where can you buy Antal clutches in the UK!? I haven't found it that easy in Italy.
My Antal winches have worked fine for many years now.

Compare the power factor and ratios with other winches for the same nominal size. You may find that Antal like to exaggerate a little. I'm not up to date on this but it was the case about 5 years ago.

I am not home until Friday, I will dig out the last invoice and post.

the 2 30AST aluminium drum winches were about 560 quid the pair. 1 Harken 32 was 530 quid.
