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 centre 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.
