S Y S T E M S INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Muir Windlass. Muir go to great lengths to develop anchoring systems that not only meet all your performance and safety requirements, but at the same time are designed with a style and finish that enhances the aesthetics of your vessel.

Vertical windlasses minimise deck intrusion and the modern curved lines of the Muir windlass enhance the look of any vessel. A vertical windlass provides the advantages of a I 80-degree wrap of the anchor rode around the gypsy.
