Ronstan Orbit Winches

The first 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 significance 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 offers 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 specified with either a two-speed or a three-speed configuration.  

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
