Anchor Windlass

When it comes to selecting an anchor windlass, the features of your boat will have an impact on your options in determining whether a vertical windlass or horizontal windlass will be the best choice. Some key factors for selecting an anchor windlass are: boat length, chain locker size and shape, amount of deck space, and ground tackle/rode features.

Additional Information about Anchor Windlasses

Horizontal and vertical anchor windlasses do an excellent job of retrieving anchors. The larger anchor windlasses with optional capstan work well for mooring, hauling or lifting on medium to large boats. Maxwell and Quick both offer accessories for easier anchoring and allowing windlass operation from multiple spots on a boat. We've developed a quick overview below but you can find more detailed information on our Windlass Resources page.

Vertical Anchor Windlasses

  • Consume less deck space than horizontal windlasses
  • Safer with 180º wrap of rode on gypsy
  • Require more underdeck space or large chain locker
  • Sleek appearance

Horizontal Anchor Windlasses

  • Mounted entirely on deck
  • Rode makes 90º wrap on gypsy
  • Compatible with small or odd shaped chain locker
  • Easier installation and servicing

Maxwel Anchor Windlasses

  • Durable
  • Reliable

Quick Anchor Windlasses

  • Powerful
  • Stylish
