Harken k nows winches. We make s ome of the lightest, most

perfo rmance-capabl e, a ltogether mightiest winches on e arth.

There’s j ust o ne t hing: o ur n ew S nu bb Air i sn’t o ne. Oh, you c an

cert ainly c ra nk o ne w ith a w inch handle. But t here’s more. For

instance: mount o ne fa r o utboard...to control a n e normous kite,

blasting a long wave t op t o wave t op. Then, ju st fl ick t he sheet o ff

and g ybe. Rope-holding p ower, yes. Winch, n o. Advantage, you.

SnubbAir. Call i t a massive r atcheting deck sheav e. Call it a

line divert er. Call it cute. Just please, don’t call it a winch.

SNUBBAIR
