VC 13000 Mega Capstan | Vessels 57-75m (187-246ft)
Built for vessels between 57 and 75 metres (187-246ft), the VC 13000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand. Usually mounted on the aft deck or amidships, it handles mooring and docking lines with remote control or foot switch operation for hands-free use.
Rated to a maximum pull of 6818kg, the VC 13000 delivers a continuous pull of up to 3900kg on the hydraulic variant (3180kg on the 50Hz AC drive), with retrieval speeds up to 20m/min. It’s available in 50Hz AC, 60Hz AC or hydraulic drive configurations, giving specifiers flexibility to match the capstan to the vessel’s onboard power system.
As with the rest of Muir’s Mega Line, the VC 13000 is designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.

Why I really like Muir winch and anchor gear
“There are a number of reasons why I really like Muir winch and anchor gear. When we were cray fishing, then drop lining, the muir gear is simple to operate, no matter what the sea conditions are”
