Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- Jock Muir,
Make sure the winch you design
“Until I retire Ill still be unofficially selling Muir winches because it’s the best production the world. I recommend it because it’s my reputation riding on everything I build. You have to be able to put your hand on your heart… when you recommend a product. I have history with Muir now, I don’t check any of their specs or equipment… I just trust them 100%”
- 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”
- Captain Peter
