Anchor Windlasses

A vertical windlass features a vertical rotation in relation to the deck which allows a reduced volume above deck as the electric motor and the gearbox sit in the chain locker.

Horizontal windlasses are installed on the deck and feature a horizontal rotation in relation to the deck. Recommended for chain lockers with a reduced height or volume.

One of the main reasons you should have a windlass on your boat is safety and utility. A windlass allows you to handle different anchoring situations – even the most critical – in absolute safety. An anchor windlass is an investment in the safety of anyone involved in anchoring, as well as your boat.
