VRC 20000 Mega Vertical Windlass | Vessels 70-90m (230-295ft)
Built for vessels between 70 and 90 metres (230-295ft), the VRC 20000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand.
Rated to a maximum pull of 9090kg and a continuous pull of up to 7200kg on the hydraulic variant (6000kg on the AC drive options), the VRC 20000 delivers reliable anchor retrieval at speeds from 10m/min up to 20m/min. It’s available in 50Hz AC, 60Hz AC or hydraulic drive configurations, giving specifiers flexibility to match the windlass to the vessel’s onboard power system.
The VRC 20000 accepts stud link chain up to U2-32mm, with a 520mm brake for secure chain holding under load. As with the rest of Muir’s Mega Line, it’s designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.

Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
It is very nice that when we call with a question
“It is very nice that when we call with a question [Muir] will try to give you the needed information as quickly as possible, but more than that, they will think with you”
Remarkable Equipment
“This remarkable equipment has come out of a little place called Tasmania, which half the world doesn’t even know exists; out of a place called Kingston, which people definitely don’t know of; and its sold by these funny Tasmanians who are dogmatic, passionate and brilliant at what they do. They’re the ultimate product”

“John’s pursuit of perfection was clearly evident to me even in these early days”
