Recreational Equipment Guide Anchor Winches and Windlasses

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...

Vertical Windlasses Horizontal Windlasses Vertical Powered Capstans Drum Winches Anchor Chain Anchor Rodes and Rope Chains

Selecting the appropriate windlass and ground tackle for your vessel and application ensures efficient deployment and retrieval of your anchor irrespective of anchoring or weather conditions. An undersized windlass may well compromise the safety of your vessel and crew. Choosing the right one should prevent costly repairs and damage. When selecting a windlass there are a number of factors that need to be considered: vessel type, length and displacement, anchor and chain size, windage and the anchoring environment. The selection chart on page 6 will assist in determining the ideal windlass...

Horizontal Windlass Determining the Capacity of the Windlass to suit my requirements Once you have identified the windlasses that will suit your vessel based on the length and displacement from the table on page 6, you need to determine the lift capacity required for your application and then refer to the detailed information on the appropriate model. Total weight of ground tackle (kg) (anchor + rope / chain) Maximum pulling power load (kg) required by the windlass Manual Operation Consideration should be given to selecting an automatic windlass with the option of Manual Operation.

Glossary of Terms AMPS Workload – current draw for the motor at full working load. Anchor Rode – the line that secures the anchor to the vessel, consisting of either rope, chain or a combination of rope and chain. Automatic Free Fall – Windlass releases automatic clutch by a means of a remote switch for rapid deployment. No user interaction. Bridle – chain stopper/compressor, devils claw. Located between the winch and bow roller. Secures chain and takes load off the winch/windlass. Capstan – drum, rope drum. The capstan is used for hauling rope. Displacement – The amount of water displaced...

Vertical Windlasses Storm Range The award winning Muir Storm series with luxury stainless steel finish revolutionises rope chain windlass technology. They are the preferred choice for high performance and smooth operation of rope-chain or chain only anchor rodes. The Storm series of vertical windlasses provides the strength of conventional vertical windlasses but with advanced and innovative concepts. Recognised for their sleek curved lines, Storms are available in low profile (VR) or capstan (VRC) configurations, with models to suit all recreational and commercial vessels up to 25m (83ft)....
