Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- 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”
- Toby Richardson
we’ve always had a good working relationship
“we’ve always had a good working relationship with Muir. Never a problem, and never any reasons for there to be one, because their product is very good.”
- 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”
