Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- 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)
- 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”
- Ilja Van
It is very nice that when we call with a question
“It is very nice that when we call with a question [Muir] will try to give you the needed information as quickly as possible, but more than that, they will think with you”
