Replacement anchor windlass for Oceanis 411

[Mike Wood]

Hi all
I have a share in an Oceanis 411 and we need to replace the original Leroy Somer windlass. Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement windlass please? The boat is 41 feet and displaces about 8 tonnes. The anchor is a 20kg Rocna.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Mike

Its a much smaller boat but I am very impressed with the reliability and pulling power of a Quick Hector that I fitted three years ago to a Sadler 34 with a 45lb CQR. Not expensive either.

Unlikely you will get a direct replacement for your current windlass. In the past, Lofrans would have been a good choice, but supplies are currently difficult. Lewmar and Quick seem to be the most popular - at least in the new boat market. You will be looking at minimum of 1000W, probably 1200.

Sorry can't help but there is a facebook Page "Beneteau 411" they are very helpful, worth a try
