Welcome to Anchors and Anchor Winches

Marty's note: I went for years without an anchor winch, young, tough, strong, stupid, I didn't need
any of "that" fancy stuff. Then, one day, an anchor winch came along at the right price and I never looked
back, it made life so much easier - and safer, especially when single handing. These days I wouldn't be
without one. A bit like the day I bought a gas cooker, something else I said I'd never have but now I
wouldn't have anything else.

We can supply you with the Italian made "Quick" wnches or the Aussie made Muir. Muir have been
around a long time and have a good name in the industry, Quick haven't been around so long but have
very quickly established a good reputation amongst sailers and motor boaters alike. I will try to present
you with as many facts as you need to make a qualified decision as to which brand and model will suit
you best. The page is still being built so may be incomplete for a little while - please bear with us, we'll get
it finished ASAP but, if you have any queries in the meantime - just give us a call.
