Karver KPW130 Power Winch - 4 Speed Winch

The Karver KPW130 4-speed winch is a high-power sailing winch designed for demanding applications where maximum load handling and reduced effort are essential. Featuring an advanced 4-speed automatic system, it delivers the capability of a traditional 2-speed winch with two additional ultra-powerful gears for exceptional performance under load.

Built with the same footprint as a standard size 46 winch, the KPW130 delivers up to 3 times more power than comparable models. This dramatically reduces the physical effort required when trimming sails or handling high loads, making manoeuvres easier, smoother and less tiring for 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 extreme power makes it a genuine alternative to electric winches, without the added complexity, weight or power consumption.

Key Features:

• High-power 4-speed automatic winch system
• Up to 3x more powerful than equivalent winches
• Size 46 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 high-load applications and short-handed sailing

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

Constructed from hard anodised aluminium, the KPW130 is built for durability in harsh marine environments. Corrosion-resistant materials and a robust design ensure long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
