The Lewmar VX windlass range offers a new windlass product, giving the end user a stylish yet functional product at a competitive price point. Traditional metal gypsies as fitted to windlasses are noisy in operation. Lewmar have developed a patent pending hybrid gypsy, which uses a metal anchor warp core together with a polymer chain wheel. This combination offers a lightweight and quieter solution that ensures a smooth deployment and retrieval of the anchor rode, 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.
