Quick Windlasses and Capstans make boating more enjoyable by reducing
the effort required to lift and lower heavy ground tackle, retrieve tenders
for on-board storage and dockline handling and docking maneuvering.
Quick
Windlasses make anchoring faster, easier and most importantly, safer. Most
Quick windlasses are equipped with a gypsy that are designed to work with
both rope and chain and are available in two versions: with or without a
drum. The drum gives you the opportunity to use a second rope other than
the one already in use for the anchor. Quick windlasses are available with
different gypsy sizes from 6 mm until 14 mm based on model and windlass
size. Quick Windlasses offer exceptional pulling power for their size and
are very competitively priced. The finish on these great-looking windlasses
is flawless.
Quick Windlasses characteristics:
Manual Free-Fall:
A mechanism that releases the gypsy clutch, like this offering unlimited
down speed of the anchor. These windlasses are designed for fast anchoring
in deep water or for fishing, where it is important to anchor on a certain
spot.
Automatic Free-Fall:
A mechanism that releases the clutch of the gypsy for the Free-Fall of the
chain, which is controlled by an electrical command. This system is installed
on the Genius FF series.
Emergency Manual lift:
The latest generation of Quick« windlasses features an emergency manual
lift system as standard. This system is composed of a ratchet mechanism
that, when engaged, allows the gypsy to turn only in the retrieval direction.
Quick Capstans are generally used for mooring and maneuvering activities
(dock line handling) as well as for easy retrieval of the tender to the
on-board garage.
