Andersen ST BT 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch

Andersen ST BT 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch

The Andersen ST BT 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch is designed to provide exceptional rope handling and durability. It features the innovative Power Rib design, which offers maximum grip and minimal wear on ropes, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering operational costs.

Unlike traditional winches with abrasive drum surfaces, the vertical ribs of the Andersen Power Rib drum help to prevent rope damage, making it a more reliable option for long-term use. This unique design improves performance and makes it easier to handle sheets and halyards, even under heavy loads.

The two-speed gearing system allows for efficient control with fewer turns on the winch handle, reducing the effort required to operate it. This makes tacking smoother and minimizes the risk of sheet overrides or jams. The self-tailing feature ensures ropes are securely held in place during operation.

Andersen winches are designed for low maintenance. All pawls and springs are captive, which means fewer servicing needs over time. The winch is also known for its high mechanical advantage, as the Power Ratio is carefully calculated based on the handle length, gear ratio, and drum radius.

Additionally, Andersen offers an optional titanium-coated drum for enhanced corrosion resistance and extended durability, making the winch even more suitable for harsh marine environments.
