Vetus-Maxwell APAC Ltd 1000 1500 Windlass 11
Chain Selection
THE MAXWELL WINDLASSES ARE DESIGNED FOR ALL CHAIN SYSTEMS USING: 6-10mm (1/4” –
3/8”) short link
Your Windlass should have a rating of approximately 3 times total combined weight of the anchor and
chain.
The ground tackle should have been selected taking into account:
a)
Boat size, displacement and windage.
b) Conditions of operation such as maximum depth of water, type of bottom and weather conditions.
c) Holding power and size of anchor, taking special note of the manufacturers’ recommendations.
CORRECT FIT OF CHAIN TO CHAINWHEEL IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE WINDLASS TO OPERATE
PROPERLY.
A range of chainwheels is available to suit your windlass.
The correct fit can only be guaranteed where a standard chain known to us is used. Alternatively a
450mm (18”) or 12 links (whichever is longer) sample must be forwarded to us to match fit. Where
patterns to suit are not held by us we are able to manufacture to instructions and reserve the right to
charge cost thereof.
THE WINDLASS SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MAXWELL CHAIN STOPPER, OR
SNUBBER, OF THE APPROPRIATE SIZE.
