Subcategory: Anchoring and mooring
Attribute: Windlasses

Experience a new standard in anchoring and mooring with the LOFRANS X1 Windlass. Designed for the discerning mariner, this powerful and elegant anchoring system combines robust performance with a luxurious aesthetic, making it the perfect upgrade for sail and motor boats ranging from 6 to 9 meters (20-30 ft). The X1 is engineered to provide effortless, reliable, and precise control over your anchor, ensuring peace of mind whether you´re setting in for a quiet evening or managing challenging mooring conditions.

The LOFRANS X1 stands out with its stunning luxury chrome bronze base and drum, offering superior corrosion resistance while adding a touch of class to your vessel´s bow. Its intelligent design allows for independent operation of the gypsy and the drum (on relevant models), providing you with the ultimate flexibility to manage both your anchor chain and separate mooring lines with ease. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for all your on-water operations.

Built to withstand the harshest marine environments, the X1 features a highly durable anodised marine aluminium gearbox and a motor protected by an IP67-rated waterproof cover. This level of protection ensures that the internal mechanics remain safe from saltwater intrusion, guaranteeing long-lasting reliability and performance. The integrated spring-loaded arm masterfully manages the rope and chain combination, preventing slippage and ensuring a smooth, jam-free retrieval every time. For modern navigators, a chain counter magnet comes pre-installed as standard, allowing for seamless integration with your helm´s chain counter display for precise scope deployment. In case of a power failure, the manual chain release provides a crucial safety backup.
