Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- David McQueen
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”

Our Muir capstans and windlasses have served us well over the years
“Our Muir capstans and windlasses have served us well over the years, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Give me plenty of good chain and the right gear to handle it, every time” (in reference to a stormy night at sea)
