Also available from Bainbridge Marine are the new Lewmar V700 and V1 vertical windlasses. With 100% stainless steel housing and a sleek flush-mount design that hides the motor down below, the V700 is one of the most attractive and durable windlasses available.

It works at the push of a button and has two built-in features making it unique – motor protection and anchor lock. It’s affordable and comes with a 5-year warranty.

The V1 is the world’s most compact vertical stainless steel windlass for power and sailboats. This beautifully styled deck unit conceals a robust, reliable, worm gearbox, offering maximum strength and control. You can enjoy rope-chain or all-chain anchor rodes with the touch of a button. The V1 is FastFit™ equipped - it can be installed quickly and easily and ensure proper drive shaft alignment.
