40QT Orbit Winch with Quick Trim
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.
Orbit Winches sizes 30QT and 40QT are equipped with the unique, patented QuickTrim self-tailer.
What is QuickTrim
QuickTrim allows sailors to conveniently and safely ease the line without removing the winch handle or taking the line out of the self-tailer.
A small anti-clockwise rotation of the self-tailing cover allows the self-tailer to turn beneath it like a sheave as the rope is eased, with confident grip and control assured by the drums smooth surface and Power Ribs.
Letting the top cover spring back into place locks the self-tailer again to resume normal use.

Ronstan 40QT Orbit Winch with QuickTrim is a high-performance aluminum sailboat winch designed for sailors who need controlled line handling, efficient sail trimming, and straightforward maintenance. Its lightweight machined aluminum construction combines proven Andersen winch gearing with Power Ribs for confident grip, smooth easing, and reduced rope wear during demanding sailing applications.
The patented QuickTrim self-tailer allows the line to be eased without removing the winch handle or taking the rope out of the self-tailer. A small counterclockwise rotation of the self-tailing cover lets the self-tailer turn beneath it like a sheave while the rope is eased. Releasing the cover returns it to the locked position for normal use. The sprung self-tailing jaws accept 0.24–0.39 inch line, supporting practical sail-trimming control across compatible running-rigging applications.
Servicing and configuration are designed to be convenient, with full disassembly and reassembly possible without tools. The self-tailing arm locks into one of eight positions at 45-degree rotational increments, while an audible click confirms positive engagement during reassembly. The Power Ribs help maintain line grip with fewer wraps, reduce the load held in the self-tailer, and support smooth, controlled easing under load.
