Smallest ST winch currently available?

[fredrussell]

Anyone know what is the smallest self tailing winch available at the moment in the UK? By ‘smallest’ I mean with the least footprint at mounting point on deck.

15ST single speed. Typically (Harken and Lewmar) are 120mm diameter base.

Lewmar 14ST

121mm drum base diameter, and the stubbiest in terms of height. Is/was the choice of a lot of mini-transat sailors as a result.

How about an Anderson 12 https://andersenwinches.com/aw/winc...iling_product_details.asp?ProdNo=RA2012010000 at 115 mm for a single speed or an Anderson 28 https://andersenwinches.com/aw/winc...iling_product_details.asp?ProdNo=RA2028010000 at 125mm for a two speed

I had this problem with a small pedestal and ended up with Antal 16XT with a 112mm base diameter

I guess as well as base diameter you also need to look at what size line you want to use on it because the Antal looks like it is 6-10 mm whereas the Anderson is 8-14mm
