Genius Windlass

The Genius windlasses are compact, sturdy, light-weight and powerful. Installation is easy because the complete unit is housed on deck. The patented epicyclical gearbox built into the Genius windlass saves between 30% and 40% power consumption compared to other windlasses. The Genius has an aluminium anodized housing and the gypsy is of a highly chrome-plated bronze construction. In addition, the Genius windlasses are fitted with a new pressure lever, designed for higher performance.
