The Hector horizontal windlass has a corrosion resistant anodized aluminum body, rugged composite rear jacket and, with integral dual direction solenoids, has no underdeck components. A manual free-fall mechanism releases the gypsy, allowing for quick anchor lowering. This is particularly useful in deep water, or when it is necessary to anchor quickly in a particular spot, as when fishing or entering a crowded anchorage.
