The VW10 evolved from the demand for a vertical windlass that could be used in a horizontally installed configuration but which would also, interactively handle a rope/chain rode. The traditional VW models could be used with chain only rodes. The VW10, capable of handling up to 10mm (3/8 in) chain and 16mm (5/8 in) rope is ideally suited for use in sailing boat anchor lockers, where space considerations are critical.
Quick and easy to install and available with or without independent warping capstan, the VW10 is destined to become an instant hit in this unique niche market.
