Muir
Storm VRC 1250 

This soon to be installed piece of art is going to take us to the next step of comfort in our cruising life. The current windlass on Nandji has given us trouble ever since day dot of owning Nandji. The very first time we dropped the anchor, we spent an extra 36 hours in the anchorage as I spent all day fixing the windlass. From this day I have constantly needed to fix the thing and it has basically never worked for the entire time on Nandji. Lucky for us our vessel is not any bigger and the anchor not any heavier as I have been lifting the anchor by hand for 2 years.

Along with the greatest following in the world, we were able to purchase this new Muir Storm VRC 1250, with a Capstan. We chose this model and brand as Muir area Australian and in Australia they have the best reputation for what they do. This model suites the size of our vessel perfectly. It is constructed entirely from stainless steel and is fitted with independent gypsy and capstan operation. This allowing to mechanically operate the capstan. Now all I have to do is install it!! Exciting!
