Low Profile or Capstan?

factoid
All Lofrans vertical windlasses are offered with and

without a rope capstan. Low profile versions keep the
foredeck uncluttered and visually pleasing. Capstan
versions have a rope drum that operates independently
of the rope/chain gypsy, an advantage when using two
anchors or as a snubbing winch in docking maneuvers. N e e d a c c e s s o r i e s ? V i s i t w w w. i m t r a . c o m 11

Manual rope/chain windlass for boats from 26'-

In many circumstances, a manual windlass makes the

most sense. Electrical limitations, infrequent anchoring
and often budget make this choice a significant upgrade
from the back-breaking, if traditional, hand-over-hand
method of recovering ground tackle.

Muir innovation and integrity.

Muir have not only perfected the rope/chain combination

Dual Gypsies
factoid
Many bluewater yachts are configured to deploy two

bow anchors. If both are to be primarily all chain systems,
a windlass with dual gypsies makes the most sense.
Each gypsy can be engaged (or disengaged) to allow
1364 508.995.7000 individual operation of each chain rode. Imtra offers
dual gypsy models from both Muir and Lofrans.

Glossary of Anchoring Terms

Capstan — Often referred to as a drum, rope drum, or warping drum. The cap-
stan is primarily used for hauling rope.
Chainstopper — Similarly, chain compressor. Located between the winch and
bow roller. Secures chain and anchor and takes the load off the winch/windlass.
Highly recommended for systems utilizing all chain and for semi-automatic
rope/chain systems.
Deck Clearance — The allowable thickness of the deck where the windlass will
be mounted.
Free Fall — Release of the winch clutch mechanism allowing the anchor and
rode (chain or rope/chain) to run out freely with no engagement of winch
gearbox or motor.
Gypsy — Often referred to as chainwheel or wildcat. A special wheel with
pockets, to accommodate a specified chain size, for hauling up the chain and
anchor. With automatic rope/chain systems the gypsy is designed to haul both
rope and chain.
Hauling — Often referred to as weighing or lifting. The operation of lifting the
