VX1 Extended Windlass Kit, 300 W, Gypsy Only, (6/7mm) 1/4"

Lewmar undertook an aggressive development program to renew its market-leading vertical windlass range. The engineering team is continually exploring, evaluating and testing new materials to ensure we offer cutting edge products that are lighter, stronger and optimised for best performance.
The VX1 is the first in the expansive new range of windlass. Using a new product development team solely working on new ways to design, develop and manufacture, Lewmar has been able to offer new age technologies to refine our windlass design. This makes our VX range lighter, stronger & more efficient than any competitor on the market.
Lewmar has developed a Patent Pending hybrid gypsy, which uses a metal anchor warp core together with a polymer chain wheel. This combination offers a light-weight and quiet solution that ensures a smooth operation, while still offering the long-life durability of the traditional metal gypsy. The polymer chain wheel allows the anchor rode chain to bed-in, creating a jump free quieter operation, while the metal anchor warp core grips the warping during deployment and retrieval of the anchor rode such as with a conventional Gypsies. Hybrid Polymer Gypsy The Lewmar Patent Pending hybrid gypsy, offers a 15% reduction in weight, 5% stronger and offer an endurance life to comparable all metal gypsies.
