Windlasses & Chain

An efficient and reliable boat anchor system is an essential part of a sailing vessel’s inventory. A high-quality anchor, rode and windlass can be vital in ensuring the safety of you and your co-voyagers. Most experienced sailors keep a spare anchor and chain on board as a backup, and longer-distance cruisers usually carry three to make sure they are never caught out by extreme conditions. At Mailspeed Marine we stock a wide range of boat anchor types, such as the greatly popular CQR and claw designs as well as delta and fluke style anchors. Where you are frequently anchoring at depths exceeding 30 feet an electric windlass is an indispensable bit of kit.  When choosing a windlass, it is important to consider the size of your vessel and the depth at which you wish to be anchoring. A Quick windlass is a practical and affordable choice for most boat sizes, though Lewmar and Lofrans windlasses are also popular for their reliability and efficient operation. Our wide range of anchors, windlasses and chain will provide the perfect anchoring solution for any type of vessel.
