DEPTH OF THE CHAIN LOCKER
Measuring the vertical distance (minimum fall) underside of the deck and the top of the completely
stored and heaped anchor rode in the locker will assist in determining the installation to suit your
vessel. Refer to the fall depth diagrams to the left, and the options detailed below. It is also
recommended that the chain be directed to the center of the chain locker.
Vertical Windlass:
The running gear, gypsy and capstan are
positioned above the deck with the motor and
gear drive below. Vertical windlasses operate at
best with greater anchor rode fall than the
horizontal windlass and a minimum fall of 300mm
from top of stacked anchor rode is
recommended. This is particularly important if
using nylon line, which does not fold and stack as
well as chain. 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.
Horizontal Windlass:
Fully enclosed, above deck, this style is usually
preferred where locker space is limited or
additional fall is required. The motor and gear
drive is fully enclosed in the housing with nothing
protruding below deck. The horizontal windlass
operates with optimum anchor rode fall of at least
300mm from the top of the stacked anchor rode,
and due to the horizontal orientation of the gypsy
higher above the deck there is additional fall
provided. These units are ideally suited for vessels
with less locker space.
