Introducing Ronstan
Orbit Winches™
THE ORBIT WINCH™ STORY
Laying the foundation for a new range of aluminium selftailing winches, we were able to draw on years of experience
manufacturing Andersen Stainless Steel Winches® within our
own operations in Denmark. This experience was invaluable,
setting the standard for reliability, mechanical e昀케ciency, and
an unparalleled user experience. For everything else, the new
winches were developed from the deck up with di昀昀erent priorities
determining material selection, weight optimisation, dimensions,
gear and power ratios, manufacturing processes, surface 昀椀nish,
and performance.
The 昀椀rst Orbit Winches™ were released in 2023, with three sizes
suitable for boats up to around 12m where Ronstan is renowned
for its comprehensive and competitive deck hardware range.
Notably, the initial product launch marked the debut of the
patented QuickTrim™ self-tailer*. The signi昀椀cance of this unique
innovation was acknowledged with the Orbit Winch™ being named
as a 2023 DAME Award joint category winner.
Building on the momentum of these award-winning winches, we
have extended the range with the addition of two larger sizes: 45QT
and 50QT. This o昀昀ers new opportunities for using Orbit Winches™
on larger boats of 14m or more. In addition to the QuickTrim™
feature, the 45QT and 50QT can be speci昀椀ed with either a twospeed or a three-speed con昀椀guration.
E1 Electric Orbit Winches™ are a further addition to the range.
Perfect for enjoying sailing short-handed or with friends and family,
E1 Electric winches are engineered with unsurpassed levels of
functionality, monitoring, and protections. Electric winches and
conversion kits are available for sizes 30QT and 40QT in either 12V
or 24V systems.
*Available from size 30QT and up
