A complete windlass system

Sleipner windlass systems are customized to boat type, design, and your needs as a boat owner. You can learn more about the different components of a complete windlass system below.

Windlass 

Midi 203 is suitable for boats up to 25 feet and the Maxi-series is suitable for boats up to 70 feet. 

Anchor

When it comes to the size of the anchor, it's always better to size up. The general advice is:

Boats up to 2 tons = 5 kg anchor
Boats up to 3 tons = 7,5 kg anchor
Boats up to 4 tons = 10 kg anchor
Boats up to 8 tons = 15 kg anchor
Boats up to 15 tons = 20 kg anchor
Boats up to 20 tons = 30 kg anchor

Anchor rode 

With the help of our large selection of anchor rodes and hull penetrations, Sleipner windlasses are easily adaptable to most boats. 

Control box

The windlass controller monitors the operating time and power consumption of the anchor windlass while protecting the electric motor. 

Control panel 

Waterproof control panel with child lock makes anchoring safe and easy.

Remote control (optional)

You can operate the windlass from anywhere in the boat and even a remote location with a remote controller. 
When the boat is anchored up at the stern with the bow facing shore, you can pull the boat out from land remotely, reducing the risk of waves from passing boats causing your boat's bow to pound against shore.

Fuse

150A for Midi windlasses and 200A for Maxi windlasses. 

Electrical cables 

Anchor swivel (recommended)

A swivel is a rotating shackle between the rope and the anchor, which prevents the anchor from spinning and twisting the rope/chain and at the same time holds the anchor in place in the anchor roll. Recommended for all installations.

Anchor safety chain (recommended)

The anchor must always be fastened with a safety chain to secure the anchor to the boat while driving. The safety chain is attached to the boat or anchor roll and usually has a shackle that makes it easy to connect the anchor when parked in the anchor roll. Recommended in all installations.
