Windlass & Accessories, Anchoring Systems

To make the proper selection in anchor-handling equipment it is important to give careful consideration to the style and size of boat, the anticipated anchoring conditions, and the weight and type of ground tackle. Maxwell has an extensive range of windlasses for all types of ground tackle, bow configurations, locker spaces and power requirements including:
• The vertical stainless steel (AISI 316) RC Series and the horizontal HRC Series automatically handle rope/chain combination rodes and are suitable for boats from 4.5 meters (15 feet) up to approximately 22 meters (75 feet)
• The evolutionary RC12 Series automatically handles rope/chain combination rodes and is suitable for lighter displacement vessels up to approximately 24 meters (80 feet)
• The multipurpose VC (Vertical Capstan) Series, which can be used for all types of line handling
• The traditional rope and chain VW (Vertical Windlass) Series, designed for manually handling a rope and chain combination anchor rode joined by a conventional shackle and eye splice. The exception being the hybrid VW10
• The VWC (Vertical Windlass/Capstan) and HWC (Horizontal Windlass/ Capstan) Series, which handle chain only rodes automatically

 Vertical Windlass and Chain Pipe 1000 • 1500 • 2500 • 3500
The VWC Series is designed for automatic vertical handling of chain-only anchor rodes while offering an independent capstan for the retrieval of a secondary rope and chain rode or to assist with docking procedures.
  • Fully automatic single or dual direction chainwheel operation
  • High-quality finish on above deck components, manufactured from marine grade stainless steel (AISI 316), for long term durability
  • Integral chain pipe and stripper are aligned for virtually jam-free operation providing automatic feed of chain into and out of the anchor locker
  • Port and starboard chain pipes for twin installations (Sizes 2500 and above only)
  • Cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits manual ‘free fall’ anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement ensuring safe and precise operator control
  • Chainwheel locking pawl
  • Optional Band Brake available for 3500 series unit
  • Clutch disengagement of the chainwheel enables independent rope hauling from any direction, using the Max-gripTM snag-free warping drum for positive control of all ropes
  • Simple through deck installation by modular design and precise alignment of gearbox to the topworks utilising marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) bolts

 Horizontal Rope/Chain Series HRCFF-6-7-8
The sleek, compact HRCFF 6-7-8 are Maxwell’s horizontal versions of the latest innovative vertical RC6 and RC8 automatic rope/chain windlasses. The HRCFF Series are packed with original and proven features including patented rode management technology developed by Maxwell.
• Now incorporating Maxwell’s automatic free-fall technology. Simply activate the windlass ‘Free Fall’ lever, operate your down control (helm station or footswitch) and the windlass will free fall your anchor. Ready to lift the anchor? Activate the up control and the ‘free fall’ device automatically disengages allowing you to power up your anchor
• Aesthetically pleasing above deck design, encapsulating the motor and drive in a watertight case, saving space below deck and allowing simple routine maintenance
• Die cast, marine-grade, alloy case is hard anodized for unsurpassed marine protection
• Simple ‘bolt down’ installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set up
• Trouble free rode transition from rope to chain, by means of an innovative, proven and patented pressure arm system, within a safe enclosed design
• Integrated composite nylon, through deck hawse pipe for ease of installation and smooth, snag-free operation
• High efficiency spur gearbox incorporating a robust non-backwind mechanism
• High speed, jam-free retrieval of rope and chain controlled from a remote panel mounted Up/Down switch

 Horizontal Rope/Chain Series HRC10-8 • HRC10-10
The HRC10 Horizontal Series windlasses proudly follow in the highly successful footsteps of Maxwell’s previous, fully automatic rope/chain anchor winches.
• The HRC10 fully automatic horizontal windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 8 mm (5/16”) and 10 mm (3/8”) short link chain and 14 mm (9/16”) and 16 mm (5/8”) three strand or 8-brait (plait) rope
• The more powerful HRC10-10 can be use with 10 mm (3/8”) chain spliced to 16 mm (5/8”) 8-brait (plait) rope
• The aesthetically pleasing above deck design, evolved from the philosophy of form follows function, encapsulates the motor and drive in a two part watertight case, saving space below deck
• The two part case consists of a die cast, marine-grade hard anodised alloy front section and a rugged and easily removable composite motor cover aft section
• This two piece watertight case allows for quick and easy, on-deck, routine maintenance

 Deck Gear BOW ROLLERS • CHAIN STOPPERS
The MAXSET Bow Roller design guarantees that MAXSET stainless steel (AISI 316) and galvanised anchors, along with similar competitor versions, are efficiently self- launched during anchor deployment. When the anchor is fully retrieved, the MAXSET bow roller ensures that the anchor fits securely into the roller and will not rattle around when the boat is underway.

 Deck Gear ANCHORS • ROPE AND CHAIN
Chain Specification is the Standard a chain must be manufactured to in order to comply with a given International Standard. Outside of North America the most common types of metric short link chain are DIN766 and EN-818. Within North America the most common imperial chains are BBB and G40. The important thing to keep in mind is to select a chain grade and specification that complies with recognised standards. In addition to the chains listed here, Maxwell can supply a variety of alternatives to meet any market demand.

Anchor Tensioner P105072
Simple, easy to use and adjustable tensioner. This innovative anchor tensioner secures the anchor firmly into the bow roller, taking the weight off the windlass and preventing accidental deployment of the anchor. The tensioner is suitable for use with 7 mm (1⁄4”) to 12 mm (1⁄2”) short link chain and can be secured to an existing cleat or bollard so no installation is required.
