The Harken SnubbAir is a versatile deck fitting that mounts, cranks, and looks like a winch but functions as a high-power line holder. Originally designed to solve a specific deck layout challenge on the J/70, it serves as a compact and efficient alternative to traditional winches. Its design allows it to act as a large ratcheting foot, cheek block, or line diverter in the cockpit pit. The device provides significant line-holding power without the need for a winch handle, making it ideal for A Scows and sport boats with large spinnakers.
High Holding Power: Delivers substantial line-holding force even without a winch handle, suitable for managing large spinnakers on powered-up sport boats.
Quick Jibing: Allows for rapid maneuvers by simply flipping the sheet off the drum to jibe, enhancing crew efficiency during racing.
Enhanced Security: Provides additional holding power by wrapping the sheet around the drum twice or using a winch handle with the optional adapter.
Direct Replacement: Features four integral threaded studs precisely matched to the bolt pattern of the B8A winch on the J/70 deck for easy installation.
Fast Installation: Swapping out winches for SnubbAirs takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish, with all necessary washers and Nylok nuts included.
