HORIZONTAL WINDLASSES - HR Options These
windlasses have the main drive shaft with single or dual chain gypsiesand capstans driving through a single gear drive. This drive mechanism istotally enclosed in the windlass casing above deck, which is an advantagewhen space below deck is at a premium. A horizontal windlass gypsy increases the height of fall of the chain into thechain locker where depth may be critical. Positioning of the gypsy and chain pipe requires the location of thehorizontal windlass above the chain-locker and the lead from the bow rolleror hawser pipe determines the location.Gypsy centres to windlass or vessel centre line can not be varied.Allrunning gear can be serviced and lubricated without interfering with the
windlass casing or chain pipes. Independent operation of capstan(s) andgypsies by declutching the drive. Operation of the horizontal capstan in thestanding position for mooring and line handling can be advantageous. Horizontal windlass casings are cast marine grade aluminium alloy withwhite gloss enamel finish.All Muir horizontal windlasses have heavy-duty clutch drives with handwheel brake bands to gypsies for infinite control of braking.A vertical capstan option on top of the windlass can facilitate mooring andline handling when horizontal capstans can not be fitted due to limited deck
space. •Polished bronze finish
