Beautifully elegant inside and out, Andersen Stainless Steel Winches® reflect the functional needs and aesthetic demands of top quality sailing yachts worldwide. Developed using state-of-the-art production techniques that have been carefully refined for more than 60 years, each of our winches reflects a sincere dedication to offer the most outstanding performance from the highest quality winches to our customers. Top quality material selection provides the strength, mechanical efficiency, durability, and everlasting shine for which Andersen Winches are renowned.

All Andersen Winches are carefully crafted, assembled, and polished by our experienced production team in Vejle, Denmark.

For years, advances in sailboat hardware have been limited to marginal gains and fractional improvements in efficiency and strength. The range of Orbit Winches™ introduces the sailing world to a truly new and award-winning innovation with the patented QuickTrim™ self-tailer. With QuickTrim™, sailors can ease lines without removing the winch handle or the line from the self-tailing jaws.

Now available up to size 50QT, with E1 Electric Motors for sizes 30QT and 40QT, including conversion kits for existing manual Orbit Winches™.

Inspired by the distinctive drum profile of Andersen winches, Power Ribs™ have been incorporated into the fully machined drums of Ronstan’s Orbit Winches™ to deliver the same impressive line handling with maximum grip and minimal rope wear.
