Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- Jos Scholten
Which can all of a sudden be the last bit of hope of surviving
“The fact that Muir always keeps the focus on their main business, being anchor systems, gives me the confidence that my customers can rely on that ‘shiny thing on the foredeck’ which can all of a sudden be the last bit of hope of surviving”
- Jock Muir,
Make sure the winch you design
“Until I retire Ill still be unofficially selling Muir winches because it’s the best production the world. I recommend it because it’s my reputation riding on everything I build. You have to be able to put your hand on your heart… when you recommend a product. I have history with Muir now, I don’t check any of their specs or equipment… I just trust them 100%”
- Alan Stever,
Stebercraft vessels
“Stebercraft vessels are built to rigid design and exacting marine standards… we will still be supporting Muir Winches ‘til the cows come home”
