HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass - 12V No Capstan 3/8" Chain, 5/8" Rope.
The HRC10 from Maxwell represents yet another breakthrough in performance and excellence in anchor handling.
Designed for use on larger vessels up to 16 meters (52'), the horizontal, fully automatic rope/chain windlass requires a completely above deck installation system.
The HRC10 handles 5/8" rope and 3/8" chain, including the thick rope to chain splice.
The modern appearance of the HRC10 retains the classic good looks of previous horizontal windlasses from Maxwell, while incorporating design features years ahead of its competitors.
Fitted with Maxwell's unique Wave Design chainwheel, the rope/chain wheel incorporates two unique design concepts that greatly improve the handling and control of the rope/chain spliced rode.
The outer ribs of the chainwheel are angled slightly forward, ensuring that the rope and the chain are smoothly guided in the wheel during anchor retrieval.
As the rope pulls into the wheel, the opposite facing inner ribs grip the rope in an undulating manner, securing the rope more firmly in a 'wave pattern' action that is far superior to the traditional 'jam cleat' manner of holding the rope.
This Wave Design holds the rope more securely and is kinder on the rope, resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode.
