High-performance, heavy-duty windlasses for large yachts and particularly large anchor rigs, suitable for larger sailing yachts and motorboats up to approximately 16.5 metres in length. The FALKON windlass is characterised by its robust construction, high pulling force and tried-and-tested LOFRANS technology, which ensures comfortable and safe anchoring manoeuvres. Furthermore, the FALKON horizontal anchor winch stands out thanks to its housing, which is made from seawater-resistant aluminium.
Corrosion-resistant housing
The corrosion-resistant housing, made from high-quality, anodised marine-grade aluminium and rated to protection class IP67, is particularly resistant to salt water and the elements on board, thus ensuring a long service life even under the most demanding conditions. Thanks to its horizontal design, in which the majority of the windlass is mounted above deck, maintenance is made easier and no space is taken up in the anchor locker, making the windlass suitable even for vessels with small anchor lockers. However, you should have sufficient space on deck to install the windlass without any problems.
Independent operation of gypsy and capstan
The FALKON anchor windlass is fitted with a hauling capstan, which enables the windlass to carry out additional line-handling tasks. It enables controlled handling of mooring and hauling lines and can assist with harbour manoeuvres. To ensure maximum flexibility on board, the gypsy and the hauling capstan can be operated independently.
Electric operation
The FALKON electric windlass features a powerful 1700 W motor and a gearbox precisely matched to it. A relay box is included for straightforward control of the windlass. The powerful motor delivers high pulling force, allowing the anchor to be recovered quickly and safely, even in demanding conditions. For convenient electric operation, a range of optional remote controls and foot switches is available.
For added safety, the windlass can also be operated manually in an emergency.
Manual chain release
The electric anchor windlass is equipped with a manual chain release, allowing the anchor chain to be paid out quickly and under control.
