450: Winch sizes

[anthonyp0808]

I want to have winch covers made before returning to my boat.

Can somebody please let me know the various winch sizes on the 450. Mine is a 2015 model and I believe winches are Harken.

I think the power Dinghy winch is a 40.2 ST.

Only 1 power "manœuvre" winch at helm station - I think a 50.2 ST.

Others at helm are manual - possibly 60.2 ST.

Is this correct?

The L450F winches are Harken 2 x 60.2ST, 2 x 50.2ST and 1 x 40.2ST.

I just serviced mine last week after 5 years. The 4 up top were really good and didn't really need the service and the dinghy one needed a bit more of a clean and re-grease. I wouldn't bother with covers?

The first one I serviced took 2 hours but getting more logical with laying out the gears got it down to 40 mins.

Are the Code 0/ spinnaker winches the 50.2 ? I need to install 2 on my S, also I found Harken Canvas do a great winch cover and bought those at the same price as locally made ones but Harken are a much higher quality.

The sheets for the jib, gennaker and spinnaker go on the 60s. The 50s are used for the halyards.

Dave is correct, sizes are Harken 2 x 60.2ST, 2 x 50.2ST and 1 x 40.2ST.
But unlike Dave, I would recommend covers. We've been in locations/anchorages where dust, grime, coal soot, sand blows all over your boat and you'd want to avoid this getting into your winches.

The 450S has three 60s at the helm station for halyards, reefs and sheets. The spinnaker and Code 0 sheets can't run to these like they can on the F so winches are mounted either side of the cockpit above the aft berths. It's these two I need to install and guessing 50s would be best for this purpose. Any one with an S that can advise the size Lagoon installs?

Hi,

Take a look at Blue Performance winch covers... we have them on our 450 and they fit great...

Hi Rick

Yes I know the Blue Performance covers - they are good.

My on-line research is turning up a variety of sizes. Could I please ask you to have a look at the Blue Performance cover sizes on your Lagoon. I think I need a #6 for the 40.2 and #9 for the rest

HI,

We have the Harken 60, 50, and 40's... The 60 takes a size 9 cover, the 50 takes a size 7, and the 40 takes a size 4....
