ANDERSEN 40 ST FS - 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch - Full Stainless Steel

If you’re passionate about maintaining the pristine appearance of your yacht, the 40 ST FS - 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch by ANDERSEN offers the perfect blend of functionality and elegant stainless steel design. This premium winch not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your vessel but also delivers reliable performance for all your docking and sailing needs.

Superior Stainless Steel Construction

The ANDERSEN Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winch is meticulously crafted from grade 316 stainless steel, ensuring durability and a sleek, reflective finish that stands out on any yacht. Key components such as the drive shaft stripper arm, self-tailing jaws, drum, and trim rings are all manufactured to the highest standards, providing a winch that is both robust and visually stunning.

Exclusive Power Rib™ Technology

Our proprietary Power Rib™ drum sets ANDERSEN winches apart from the competition. Unlike traditional winches with abrasive drum surfaces, the Power Rib™ features vertical ribs that offer maximum grip while minimizing rope wear. This innovative design reduces sheet and halyard replacement costs and enhances sailing pleasure by allowing smoother and more controlled line handling.

Exceptional Power Ratio

The power ratio of a winch determines its mechanical advantage, and the ANDERSEN Self-Tailing Winch boasts impressive ratios of 8.9:1 at first speed and 40.0:1 at second speed. This ensures that your winch can handle substantial loads with ease, making it ideal for both casual sailors and serious yacht enthusiasts.

Premium Materials for Lasting Performance

Every component of the ANDERSEN winch is constructed from high-grade materials to ensure longevity and optimal performance:

• Drum: Grade 316L stainless steel, cold formed for increased strength and hardness.
• Drive Shafts: Grade 329 duplex stainless steel for superior resilience.
• Pawls: Cold pressed grade 316 stainless steel, virtually unbreakable.
• Upper Center Stems: Aluminum bronze for ultimate durability.

This combination of materials results in a lightweight yet rigid assembly that enhances the mechanical efficiency of the winch, making it as durable as it is reliable.

Key Features

• Power Rib™ Drum: Ensures controlled grip and minimizes rope wear.
• Stainless Steel Bearings: High-quality roller and ball bearings reduce friction and enhance load capacity.
• Self-Tailing Arm: Rotates 360 degrees for optimal positioning and automatically adjusts to various rope sizes.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward installation and low maintenance, requiring service only every two years under normal use.

Understanding Power Ratio

The Power Ratio of the ANDERSEN winch is a measure of its mechanical advantage, calculated using the formula:

1. Length of handle
2. Gear ratio
3. Radius of drum

This ratio determines the load the winch can handle. For example, applying a 10kg load with a 10" handle on a Power Ratio 40:1 winch results in a pull capacity of 400kg, assuming 100% efficiency. While real-world efficiency is slightly lower due to mechanical friction, the high Power Ratio ensures exceptional performance.

Maintenance and Durability

Designed for longevity, the ANDERSEN Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winch requires minimal maintenance. Thanks to its stainless steel construction and high-quality bearings, servicing is only needed approximately every two years under normal usage conditions, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your yacht and less time on upkeep.
