VRC 11000 Mega Vertical Windlass | Vessels 36-51m (118-167ft)
Built for vessels between 36 and 51 metres (118-167ft), the VRC 11000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand.
Rated to a maximum pull of 5000kg and a continuous pull of up to 3850kg on the hydraulic variant (2600kg on the AC drive options), the VRC 11000 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 11000 accepts short link chain up to 22mm and stud link chain up to U2-22mm, with a 356mm 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.

we’ve always had a good working relationship
“we’ve always had a good working relationship with Muir. Never a problem, and never any reasons for there to be one, because their product is very good.”
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”
