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”
- John Muir
Its all about being competitive but also being the best
“Its all about being competitive but also being the best. Best design, best quality and always reliable. The winch market has always been competitive, so you’ve got to find a way to sell it.”
- Paul Goss,
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)
