Some of our Storm installs
Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- Alan Stever
Stebercraft vessels
“Stebercraft vessels are built to rigid design and exacting marine standards… we will still be supporting Muir Winches ‘til the cows come home”
- 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”
- 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”
