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
