2-speed bronze anchor windlass WILMEX

Heavy and robust two gear anchor winch made from high-strength seawater resistant cast brass for yachts and ships of up to a length of 20m.
The driving mechanism is operated by a strong handle via a mechanical transmission system. This gear drive and all axles are made from stainless steel. In the fast gear a hoisting speed of 9m/min is possible (at 60 double travels this amounts to 6,5 double travel per metre). With a gear ratio of 10:1 a traction force of 500kg is possible to achieve. The transmission is doubled in the power gear, the hoisting speed is reduced to 2,80 m/min (this amounts to 14 double travel per metre).
This is achieved by simple switching of the handle between speed gear and power gear.
The solid telescopic handle, made from bronze tubing D=40mm, total length 0,80m, also activates the brake nut.
On the port side of the winch a strong capstan head (diameter 115mm) is fitted, which can be used for all kinds of traction work.
The powerful body is open on the aft end for maintenance and lubrication.
A heavy cleat on top of the housing is extremely useful.
Weight with handle: 42kg.
Dimensions: base: 307 x 180mm, overall width: 350mm, height (with cleat) 265mm.

Available with a chainwheel for chain according to DIN766A 10mm or 13mm.
