Karver KPW150 Power Winch - 4 Speed Winch

The Karver KPW150 4-speed winch is a high-performance, high-power sailing winch designed for demanding yachts and heavy-load applications. Featuring an advanced 4-speed automatic system, it delivers the capability of a traditional 2-speed winch with two additional ultra-powerful gears, making it one of the most powerful manual winches available.

Built with the same footprint as a standard size 52 winch, the KPW150 delivers up to 3 times more power than comparable models. This significantly reduces the effort required when trimming sails or handling heavy loads, allowing for smoother, more controlled manoeuvres with less physical strain on the crew.

Gear changes are achieved simply by reversing the direction of rotation, with the winch automatically returning to first gear when the load is released. Its exceptional power makes it a true alternative to electric winches, without the added complexity, weight or power requirements.

Key Features:

• High-power 4-speed automatic winch system
• Up to 3x more powerful than equivalent winches
• Size 52 footprint with significantly increased output
• Automatic gear changes via rotation direction
• Returns to first gear when load is released
• Self-tailing design for secure rope handling
• Reduces physical effort and crew fatigue
• Ideal for large yachts and high-load applications

The KPW range is designed for sailors who need maximum power for demanding tasks such as furlers, daggerboards, foils and heavily loaded sail systems. Increased power allows the use of shorter winch handles and provides greater control in confined cockpit layouts.

Constructed from hard anodised aluminium, the KPW150 is built for durability in harsh marine environments. Corrosion-resistant materials and a robust design ensure long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
