Otto Winders
Stainless steel line winders — Finely tuned figures of eight
Designed for line
Otto, Italian for 8
Otto Winders — Your kites are designed to perform perfectly. Now, so are your line winders.
From a single length of stainless steel,
comes a full range of functions
The rings
Every Otto Winder has two rings. They are sized for hands, so holding them as you wind line feels comfortable and secure.
The rings are positioned to allow pulling the working line through to form a loop. Put the loop over one of the two posts on the Otto Winder and the line is secure.
The winder
The Otto Winder was designed for managing line. It takes in about 16 inches for every figure 8 cycle. Because of the deep shape at the sides, Otto Winders have tremendous capacity.
The posts
By pulling line through one of the rings, and looping it over a post, the line is secured. Instantly cleat the line at any point. It's both easy to form, and quick to release. The other ring and post remain ready to receive loops from line on your anchor.
TriLock path
Otto Winders derive a fair measure of their excellent strength from the deceptively simple path of stainless steel at their center.
Formed early in the process, the TriLock prevents deformation under lateral compression. As a result, Otto Winders can support substantial loads.
E–Winders
Light, quick, smooth, and beautiful
E–Winders
E–Winders are perfect for organizing sets of lines. They are light, stiff, and small, so a large number of them can be stored in a tight space.
