About PowerWinch

Sailing must not be an overstraining exercise. If you have most fun sailing in wind and waves,
high safety standards and reliable handling of your winches are essential!

You know about those critical moments:

  • hauling in the genoa just another three turns at quite some heeling
  • winding the halyard to set the mainsail atrip
  • furling the jib in strong winds and waves
  • Safe reefing
  • Controlling your gennaker, mainsheet and traveller
  • … or to get the dinghy closer … and many other situations.

Do you remember your desire to tighten the sheets without overstraining cranking the winches – hard on the wind leewards?
Or just to set sails without being short of breath? The patented MSM PowerWinch has the solution.

The MSM PowerWinch concept has proven it’s worth since many years, with motors of high torque and low power consumption. On suggestion of many experienced sailors we have completed this developments with the new MSM PowerWinch-Rewind.

MSM PowerWinch has an integrated drive and is mountable on every sailing boat. There is no need of space for the motor under deck either under the cockpit, on deck beside the companionway or at the mast. In spite of the electric drive, MSM PowerWinch can be operated manually at any time with a traditional winch handle (which is not rotating simultaneously during electric operation)

MSM PowerWinch is custom-made in Germany, made from sea water resistant aluminium with premium high-precision mechanics. Furthermore, MSM PowerWinch looks good designed exclusively by the F.A. Porsche design studio. Available in various anodizing colours. We also offer to refit your existing winches with an electric drive! You are welcome to get your winches checked if refit is possible with high-torque and low power consumption motors. Incorporating an electric drive can be under deck or on deck.

All electric winches can be operated convenient by remote control! (optional at extra cost)

Every winche is delivered incl. control unit, a suitable deck switch, fixation screws, drilling template and detailed installation manual.
Every winch is equipped with integrated automatic thermal overload protection of the motor. 2 years warranty.
