What is a Windlass?

A windlass is a type of winch used on boats and ships to drop and hoist anchors. Manual windlasses come with a handle that is turned to wind up the rope or chain to which the anchor is attached. We recommend a power windlass, which can pull up the anchor with the press of a button. Free Fall windlasses drop the anchor by releasing the line, which can be faster than powering it down.

Horizontal or Vertical Windlass?

Technically the term 'windlass' only refers to horizontal winches. Vertical winches are technically called capstans. Horizontal windlasses are typically more compact and aesthetically attractive, while vertical capstans are often installed below deck, thereby lowering the center of gravity. Therefore horizontal windlasses tend to be used on smaller boats, while vertical capstans are used on larger boats or ships.
