Lewmar V1 Vertical Windlass (Gypsy)

Lewmar V1 Vertical Windlass 12V 1/4 G4 Gypsy Only Anchor Power

Featuring a modular and compact design, the Lewmar V1 is the definitive mechanical solution for performance hulls and coastal cruisers up to 35 feet. This 12V vertical windlass is specifically calibrated for 1/4-inch G4 ISO chain, offering an optimized torque-to-weight ratio for rapid anchor deployment. The low-profile 316 stainless steel deck unit minimizes windage while ensuring the high-torque motor remains protected below deck for maximum thermal stability and oxidation resistance in high-salinity spray.

Technology-driven materials include a hard-anodized aluminum base to mitigate galvanic corrosion and enhance structural integrity. The V1 utilizes a simplified drive train to reduce maintenance intervals to seasonal checks, ensuring long-term reliability for day sailors and weekend cruisers. The Fast-Fit design simplifies installation on narrow decks, providing a professional-grade anchor retrieval system that doesn’t compromise the vessel’s center of gravity or clean aesthetic profile during offshore maneuvers.
