Part Number:

The VW Series of anchor winches are designed for traditional rope and chain combination anchor rodes, where manual transfer of the rode from the rope warping drum to the chainwheel is required.

VW10 WINDLASS FOR USE WITH SPLICED ROPE/CHAIN
The VW10 evolved from the demand for a vertical windlass that could be used in a horizontally installed configuration, but which would also, interactively handle a rope/chain rode. The chainwheels on traditional VW models could be used with chain only rodes. The VW10, capable of automatically handling up to 10 mm (3/8”) chain and 16 mm (5/8”) rope, is ideally suited for use in sailing boat anchor lockers, where space considerations are critical. Quick and easy to install and available with or without independent warping capstan, the VW10 is destined to become an instant hit in this unique niche market.

Features and benefits

  • Provides the versatility of operating two anchors from onewinch
  • Functional rope hauling from any direction using independent MAX-grip™ snag-free warping drum with clutch disengagement of chainwheel for positive control of all ropes
  • Permits use of traditional shackle and thimble rope and chain connection
  • Allows alternative mounting horizontally on a fore and aft bulkhead inside chain locker for below deck installation
  • High-quality finish on above deck components, manufactured from marine grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, for long term durability
