Choose your ANDERSEN Winches™ to reflect the size of your yacht and your sailing requirements. This selection guide is intended for masthead rigged monohull yachts of medium displacement. Refer to the notes to the right regarding other rig or displacement types.

Please note that this table lists typical winch sizing for the given applications, but can not take into account all variables due to the wide variety of sailing vessels and conditions.

For electric or hydraulic winches, the size selection is generally similar to that of a manually operated winch.
