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

“Its all about being competitive but also being the best. Best design, best quality and always reliable. The winch market has always been competitive, so you’ve got to find a way to sell it.”
