Harken CLR Mooring Winch – Hidden Power for Luxury Yachts

A winch that remains invisible - until it reveals its extraordinary power!

On the decks of the world’s fastest racing sailboats, every detail serves a purpose. When speed, safety, and aesthetics must meet the highest standards, there is no room for compromise. This explains why the Harken (Learn more) name dominates prestigious regattas worldwide, including the America’s Cup, the Ocean Race, and the Vendée Globe. What truly distinguishes Harken, however, is not just its competitive heritage, but its ability to transfer cutting-edge technology to luxury yacht equipment – creating solutions that are discreet, reliable, and impeccably functional.

In this exclusive segment, the Harken CLR Mooring Winch stands as a masterpiece of engineering – a specialized winch for managing tension of mooring lines on motor yachts and large sailboats. This completely flush-stowing and deck-mounted winch emerges only when needed, saving valuable space both above and below deck.

Beyond its elegant discretion, this winch delivers superior performance in a lighter, more compact form than competing options, without sacrificing power. Its ground-breaking innovation lies in the unique winch drum geometry: five precision-engineered aluminium columns rotate around a central axis. Working in unison, they deliver enhanced power output and superior rope holding compared to conventional winches.

This revolutionary design earned Harken the prestigious DAME award at the 2018 METS nautical fair in Amsterdam – a recognition that celebrates exceptional engineering excellence and innovative design.

The CLR Mooring Winch features integrated LED drum illumination, ensuring safe and effortless operation even in night-time conditions.

Clients can select between aluminium or stainless-steel drum construction, with the option of a wooden drum cover that seamlessly integrates with the deck’s pattern and aesthetics.

Available with either electric or hydraulic drive systems, and offering power options from 600 to 12,000 kg, this versatile model accommodates vessels ranging from 14 to an impressive 100 meters in length.
