The Antal XT16.2 Two‑Speed Winch combines performance and adaptability in a compact self‑tailing design. The hard black anodised aluminium drum (or optional chrome‑plated bronze) delivers consistent line grip aided by a bronze and stainless shaft assembly with roller bearings :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
Featuring a direct (1:1) and a reduced (2:1) gear, this winch offers fast line retrieval (~229 mm per turn) as well as powerful hauling (~115 mm per turn), driven by power ratios of 7:1 and 14:1 respectively :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
With a standard fit for 6–10 mm lines and mounting dimensions suited to 5×6 mm countersunk screws, the winch suits boats with limited deck space. The aluminium version weighs approximately 2.6 kg, while the sturdier chrome‑bronze model is around 3.0 kg :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
