Ewincher
Want the perfect gift for your crew (or skipper) for next season? Electrify your winches with the Ewincher! For $1,999 you can motorize all your winches with a single handle.

All its functions are designed to fit perfectly with the practice of sailing. Effortlessly, you gain power and speed by staying in the proper grinding position.
Waterproof, light and fitted with a winch lock, the Ewincher is beautifully ergonomic with fingertip controls. Available in black & white or yellow & gray, its standard size allows it to adapt to all deck plans and makes Ewincher a real, ready-to-use solution. No more thinking about buying a trawler! Hoist the main, unfurl the genoa and tack to your heart’s content. Contact Black Rock Boat Works to get yours at 203-873-0015 or blackrockboatworks@gmail.com.

After class completion, we have practice time to hone those skills. Call us at 401-575-0964 to get a Sailing Gift Certificate this holiday season.
