Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
- John Muir
A boat without a Muirs is like a Porsche without Wheels
“A boat without a Muirs is like a Porsche without Wheels”
- 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%”
- 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.”
