ANDERSEN 46 ST FS - 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch - Full Stainless Steel

The 40 ST FS - 2-Speed Self-Tailing Manual Winch in Full Stainless Steel by ANDERSEN is the perfect addition to any yacht aiming for both functionality and aesthetic excellence. Engineered for durability and performance, this winch not only enhances your vessel's appearance but also ensures reliable handling of lines under various marine conditions.

Premium Construction

Crafted entirely from high-grade 316 stainless steel, the 40 ST FS winch boasts exceptional resistance to the harsh marine environment. Every component, including the drive shaft stripper arm, self-tailing jaws, drum, and trim rings, is meticulously manufactured and polished to maintain a sleek, reflective surface that accentuates your yacht’s elegance.

Advanced Power Rib™ Technology

Featuring ANDERSEN’s exclusive Power Rib™ drum, this winch offers superior grip and minimizes rope wear. Unlike traditional winches with abrasive drum surfaces, the Power Rib™ provides vertical ribs that enhance line grip while reducing friction, leading to longer line life and smoother sailing experiences. Enjoy fewer turns and effortless tacking, making your sailing more enjoyable and efficient.

Exceptional Power Ratio

The mechanical advantage of the 40 ST FS winch is defined by its Power Ratio, which ensures optimal load handling based on handle pull. With two speed settings, the winch provides flexibility and power:

• 1st Speed: Gear Ratio 2.8:1 | Power Ratio 15.7:1
• 2nd Speed: Gear Ratio 8.4:1 | Power Ratio 47.1:1
