Since 1968. Built to last. Located deep in the wild Southern Ocean, Tasmania’s harsh and challenging marine environment means that anything made here must be made well. And it must be made to last. It’s here that for over 50 years Muir has been designing and manufacturing anchoring systems and mooring equipment that have withstood the test of time, and the test of nature. With a comprehensive quality assurance system to ensure durability and safety, our anchoring systems, mooring and deck equipment are respected for their quality and performance. From a 5-metre vessel to the world’s largest...

M E G A YA C H T A N C H O R I N G S Y S T E M S VERTICAL WINDLASSES – VR/VRC Vertical windlass models have a main vertical shaft and horizontal gypsy, and are available in two configurations. VRC has a gypsy and independent capstan, whilst the VR has gypsy and low profile top only. The low profile VR is available on models VR4000 through to VR 22000. The vertical configuration allows for single and twin installations with the advantage of installing the windlasses in various positions. This facilitates the positioning of anchor pipes and spurling pipes. In some cases it may be preferable...

M E G A YA C H T A N C H O R I N G S Y S T E M S HORIZONTAL WINDLASSES - HR Horizontal windlasses have the main drive shaft with single or dual chain gypsies and capstans driving through a single gear drive. This drive mechanism is totally enclosed in the windlass casing above deck, which is an advantage when space below deck is at a premium. A horizontal windlass gypsy increases the height of fall of the chain into the chain locker where depth may be critical. Positioning of the gypsy and chain pipe requires the location of the horizontal windlass above the chain-locker and the lead from...

M E G A YA C H T A N C H O R I N G S Y S T E M S Positioning of anchor windlass and chain locker The chain pipe or spurling pipe should be positioned to allow the anchor chain to drop into the centre of the chain locker, to centralise the spread proportionally and minimise piling up. When the anchor chain falls too far away from the centre of the chain locker or too close to a partition or bulkhead, the chain will not fall or pile evenly. Chain will actually climb up a partition or pile up if it drops close to the partition or bulkhead. A chain locker being too small in volume or with a...
