Windlasses and capstans
Windlasses make boating more enjoyable by reducing the effort
required to lift and lower heavy ground tackle making 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.
Capstans:
these units are generally used for mooring and manoeuvring activities
(dock line handling).

Capstans for tender:
used for easy retrieval of the tender to the on-board garage.
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:
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.
