TOPWORKS SELECTION Once you have decided on the windlass size, you can look at different topworks and drive options. Maxwell offers several variations of topworks to meet the different demands of a range of installation requirements. VC Vertical Capstan Simple capstan that is driven in one direction is used to control mooring lines. VW Vertical Windlass Windlass Chainwheel and capstan, without chainpipe. Suits installations where the chainpipe has to be further away from the windlass. It can be used with combined rope-chain anchor line where weight permits. VWC Vertical Windlass with Chainpipe The most commonly used topworks, comprises chainwheel, capstan and chainpipe integrated on the deck plate. This compact design, requires very small deck area, yet offers handling of both anchor chain and mooring rope. VWCLP Vertical Windlass with Chainpipe in Low Profile (no capstan). It is very convenient for installation under a hatch or where space is limited. Used when ever low profile is required, such as on the decks of sailing yachts. HWC Horizontal Windlass and Capstan Has all its components (including drive) above deck. It is suitable where excessive deck thickness makes vertical installation impractical or where the under deck space is limited i.e. multihull vessels. They have chainwheels and/or capstans mounted on a horizontally laid shaft. HWVC Horizontal Windlass with Vertical Capstan The same as HWC with the additional option of a vertically installed capstan. Any combination of capstans and chainwheels to port or starboard is available.
