20ST Orbit Winch 1 Speed
Ronstans Orbit Winches are the new benchmark in high performance alloy winches. With a combination of fresh design thinking and proven manufacturing expertise, Orbit Winches weigh significantly less and offer lower line entry heights than any other winch in their class.
Remarkably easy to service, they require no tools for disassembly or maintenance. The machined aluminium drums feature the same Power Ribs that many sailors will recognize from Andersen Stainless Steel Winches, well-known for their impressive line grip, smooth control, and minimal rope wear.
Power Ribs
The exceptional grip provided by the Power Ribs offers a multitude of benefits: requiring fewer wraps around the drum, reducing the load held in the self-tailer, and encouraging the line to slide easily upward on the drum to avoid riding turns. The non-abrasive drum surface extends the service life of running rigging and allows smooth and controlled easing, even under high loads.
No Tools Required
Full disassembly and reassembly can conveniently be performed without the need for any tools. To remove the drum, pull back the spring-loaded release latch, and a slight anti-clockwise rotation will allow the self-tailing arm to be lifted from the winch. From there, the drum can be removed from the winch's center stem.
When completing reassembly in reverse order, an audible click confirms positive engagement between the self-tailing arm and bayonet notches on the center stem. These notches allow the self-tailing arm to be locked in one of eight positions at rotational increments of 45 degrees.

Ronstan 20ST Orbit 1-Speed Self-Tailing Sailboat Winch
The Ronstan 20ST Orbit 1-Speed Winch RA6201 is a high-performance alloy winch designed for sailors who want efficient line handling, smooth control, and simplified servicing. Its lightweight machined aluminum construction helps reduce weight on deck, while the low line entry height supports practical installation and operation on a wide range of sailing applications.
The machined aluminum drum features Ronstan Power Ribs, which provide controlled grip during both tensioning and easing. The ribbed, non-abrasive surface helps reduce the number of wraps needed around the drum, lowers the load held in the self-tailer, and helps prevent riding turns. It also supports smooth, controlled line handling while helping minimize wear on running rigging.
The Orbit winch is designed for convenient maintenance without tools. The drum and self-tailing arm can be removed and reassembled using the spring-loaded release latch and bayonet-style center stem connection. The self-tailing arm locks into one of eight positions at 45-degree rotational increments, allowing the arm to be positioned for practical line handling on deck. Sprung self-tailing jaws accept 6–10 mm line for reliable use with compatible running rigging.
