NOTES
The specifications depicted in this chart, and subsequently within our website, apply to vessels operating in safe weather conditions.

This information is to be used as a guide only and it is recommended that you contact AhoyCaptain for further information on the appropriate system to meet your requirements. You may email us at AhoyCaptain.com or phone us toll free at 888-464-5581.

Muir recommend where vessels are being used for charter or commercial purposes, or for extended offshore cruising in rugged conditions, or where average displacement puts them at the upper limit of the windlass size, a larger model should be selected.

Displacement, windage and anchoring conditions are factors to consider when selecting a Muir system, and it is advisable to select a larger windlass and ground tackle if anchoring in exposed conditions.

All systems assume the use of a chain stopper or chain snubber line to prevent load being placed on the windlass when breaking loose the anchor.
