Whether you opt for the version with a drum for managing secondary lines or the sleek Low Profile model for a minimalist aesthetic, the X1 is built to perform flawlessly.

Experience unmatched operational flexibility with the ability to operate the gypsy and drum independently. This feature allows you to manage a rope line on the drum while the anchor chain is deployed, offering superior versatility during complex mooring situations.
