THE ORBIT WINCH STORY 

Laying the foundation for a new range of aluminium winches, Ronstan was 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 efficiency and an unparalleled user experience. For everything else, the new winches were developed from the deck up with different priorities determining material selection, weight optimisation, dimensions, gear and power ratios, manufacturing processes, surface finish, and performance. 

When the Orbit WinchTM project started to take shape, the initial focus of research and development was on three sizes specifically for boats up to about 12m, where Ronstan is renowned for its comprehensive and competitive deck hardware range. Within a year the first prototypes had commenced multiple rounds of design concept refinements and testing, so that in the second year of the project we could start on-the-water testing in various locations around Australia and Europe.

Attention then turned to the fine detail of tooling and manufacturing, and the results are remarkable. Introducing the new Ronstan range of lightweight alloy winches, featuring race-ready performance, impressive line grip, the convenience of disassembly without tools, and the introduction of the unique, patented QuickTrimTM self tailer*.
