The V6 windlass is available as gypsy only and gypsy drum in left hand, right hand and remote chain pipe configurations. The V6 is available with 24V or hydraulic power option and a large range of gypsy sizes. The V6 has a cone clutch for smooth, easy control whilst anchoring
The V8 windlass is available as gypsy only and gypsy drum in left hand, right hand and remote chain pipe configurations. Available with 24V DC, 208v and 400V AC, or hydraulic power the V8 offers a wide variety of power options to suit every customer.
Extensive ranges of metric and imperial chain gypsies are available to suit most boat specifications.
