Grip Overhaul on Harken Classic Winch Drums

Professional Regripping for Harken Classic Winches – Restore Non-Slip Performance

Over time, frequent use on sailing yachts can cause the grip on Harken Classic Winches to wear down, leaving the aluminum drum surface slick and slippery. This loss of grip leads to several problems: ropes start to slip, handling becomes more difficult, and there’s an increased risk during maneuvers, especially in wet or demanding conditions. Even the best quality ropes may not hold as they once did, which can compromise safety and performance on the water.

Premiumropes provides a specialized reconditioning service exclusively for Harken Classic Winch Drums (aluminum only), designed to address these issues with slippery winches. Our process involves re-machining the drum surface to restore a secure, non-slip grip, ensuring it can firmly hold any rope and reduce the risk of slipping or loss of control.

Get in touch with us today to arrange an overhaul of your Harken Classic Winch Drum. This service is available for dark grey anodized aluminum drums in sizes 8 to 60, with a typical turnaround time of three weeks.

For larger Harken winches or pricing, please contact us to discuss custom solutions.
