Barton composite winch spares kits This is a spares kit only, not the complete winch A versatile alternative to conventional steel winches, the Barton range of composite winches offer significant cost and weight savings and are truly low maintenance. Virtually self-lubricating, friction-free and corrosion resistant, the ingenious use of advanced materials ensures consistent performance and reliability. The composite drum has a ‘moulded in’ stainless steel insert for wear resistance. Three models available - a single-speed 8:1 and two twin-speeds; 16:1 and 23:1 Suitable as primaries for yachts up to 10m (30ft) or as spinnaker/halyard winches on larger craft Red, blue and green coloured top rings are included, giving you the ability to colour-code winches to control lines, port or starboard, or just to match the colour scheme of your boat Comprehensive spares kits available.
