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 I80-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.
