The Manual consists of 6 chapters: the Introduction, Product Description, Assembly, Use, Tips &

Advice, ending with an In Depth-section. The Product Description gives you a complete listing of

the products we offer you moreover the windlass-package, such as Bruce-anchors and chock- and

anchor rollers, plus special features such as anchor davits. The chapter on Assembly guides you

through arranging the windlass-system onboard and calibrating the electronic settings necessary for

safe operation. In Use we give you a step-by-step instruction on how you operate with the steering

devices. Further on, we answer some FAQ’s in Tips & Advice and help you with troubleshooting.

Finally, as a bonus for the techno-buff, we go into detail in the ultimate part called In Depth.

Anchoring1000 Automatic Windlass

This automatic windlass was originally designed for the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration,

FMV. The Designer co-operated closely with FMV in the product development phase and worked

from technical requirements put forward by the Swedish Marine. This has resulted in a robust and

reliable construction with special functions added, such as reverse feed and overload auto-stop.

Rigorous testing was carried out by FMV within the collaboration.

The winch is also used in other professional situations where high demands on performance and

reliability is standard. The Swedish paper industry has discovered that our product is ideal for use in

their factories pulling the so called wire gauze, which is the cloth the paper-mass rests on when it’s

travelling through the wire rolls. The great force and precision that is needed in the papermaking

process requires a robust and dependable winching construction.

A Brief Introduction to the Product

The new, compact version of Anchoring’s Automatic Windlass simplifies the anchoring

manoeuvres for everyone onboard and is ideal for voyaging solo. You swiftly manage the whole

putting-in operation from the helm position by using the drum-release function. By using the remote

control system you may adjust your mooring from land by millimetre; stretch or release.

New Driving Gear

Placing the motor inside the winch drum ensures a compact design. Furthermore, our patented

mechanical ratchet has been integrated into the drum. The line distributor spreads the anchor line

evenly across the drum which prohibits the line from getting tangled. Thanks to the relatively large

diameter of the winch drum, the variation in pull from full to empty is insignificant which ensures

an even and reliable running action.

The new transmission achieves a very high outcome effect in relation to the motor input. This

guarantees great savings on energy and that the winch works significantly faster against great

resistance compared to competing products. Technically speaking, the Anchoring1000 has 90%

conversion efficiency compared to any competitor’s outcome of round about 50% efficiency.

Load-limiting and Auto-stop Functions

A new electronic feature, developed especially for the Swedish Defence material Administration,

FMV, has been added. It is a load-limiting device (extra function) which releases automatically for

the duration of overload and is then re-activated immediately. With the auto-stop function

(standard) the anchor stops first at the waterline during winching, and is then pulled with greatly

reduced power onto the anchor roller in the holdfast position.

Digital Comptometer

Control Panel 801 featuring a digital display (extra) enables you to verify from the bridge or cockpit

that the anchor is dropped properly – you’ll always know the amount of anchor line unwound. The

panel is delivered showing metric values in Europe and foot in the US. Also when the windlass is

winching, it’s useful to know when the anchor is coming up towards the boat. The panel features

ensure safer handling and a better overview – especially when there’s a risk for all of the anchor-

line to become unfurled. Please note that the catch that secures the line to the winch drum can take a

maximum load of 150 kg. This is a safety feature – a transverse stop at sea must be avoided at all

cost since it puts everyone onboard in grave danger of bodily harm – even at low speed.

The anchor line is made of wear-resistant polyester and has been primed with a water-stop. Its

ultimate tensile strength is 3 tons (= 3.000 kg) which means it’s stronger than an 8 mm steel cable

and considerably lighter. The surface area of the line offers a bolstering effect under water and a

springing action when anchoring and mooring.
