Reliability and Efficiency on board!

The space that is available above and under the deck is the key element to be considered when you are in the process of selecting the proper type of anchor windlass.

Horizontal windlasses are installed on the deck and feature a horizontal rotation in relation to the deck. They are recommended for chain lockers with a reduced height or volume. The electric motor and the gearbox are protected by a cover and they are easily accessible for maintenance.

Also keep in mind that the height between the top of the stacked chain and the underdeck must be 300 mm minimum in order to ensure a fast dropping of the chain in the locker and an optimum performance of the windlass.

The LOFRANS Kobra is built to provide exceptional performance with features designed for the serious mariner. The independent gypsy and drum operation offers outstanding versatility, allowing you to manage the anchor chain and a secondary line separately and simultaneously. This dual functionality is perfect for complex mooring situations or for handling an extra line with ease. Furthermore, the inclusion of both manual chain release and a manual override system ensures you maintain full control in any situation, including a sudden loss of power. This critical safety feature means you can operate the windlass manually, guaranteeing you are never left vulnerable.

Built to withstand the harshest conditions at sea, the Kobra windlass boasts an impressive motor with an IP66 rating. This high level of protection certifies that the motor is completely sealed against dust ingress and powerful jets of water from any direction, ensuring long-lasting durability and consistent performance. The anodised aluminium construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, further extending the life of your investment and maintaining its aesthetic appeal for years to come. The Kobra is more than just a piece of equipment; it is a long-term partner for all your anchoring needs.
