The 35.2STC is a reliable "workhorse" with a premium finish. It is an excellent choice for sailors who want the durability of bronze and the beauty of chrome without the excessive weight of older designs. This model is also convertible to electric power, allowing you to automate your sail handling in the future without replacing the entire winch.
