As sailing yachts have grown in size and crews are being reduced, captive winches can offer a solution to handling the increasing sheet loads on bigger boats.
HYDROMAR design, produce and test a variety of captive winches in a standard range and if necessary can custom build to your specific requirements.
The HYDROMAR captive winch reflects Hydromar's basic philosophy: create a simple product with as few components as possible and combine this with a smart appearance with highest quality fabrication.
The designers challenge to create a winch that can sell itself by appearance alone, while quality comes as standard has been fulfilled.

Captive winches are available in a standard range from 2 to 15 tons dynamic pull.

From the 6-ton version upward we can deliver power regulated winch drive. This variable power rated hydraulic winch performs up to 300 % better compared to the better-known single speed winch, a significant advantage where limited hydraulic power is available.

Thanks to a co-ordinated production process using many standard components, the HYDROMAR captive winches offer flexible winch configurations with a high quality/price ratio.
