Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- John Muir
Its all about being competitive but also being the best
“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.”
- Paul Goss,
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)
- Will Mure
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”
