RC12 vertical windlasses

The RC12 Series incorporates Maxwell’s latest stylish innovation in automatic rope/chain windlass technology. Retaining the classic open design styling more appropriate on larger boats, the RC12-10 and RC12-12 represent the next generation of rope/chain windlass evolution in every respect.

Features and benefits:

  • The RC12 fully automatic windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 10 to 13mm (⅜” to 1/2”) short link chain combined with
    16 to 22mm (⅝” to 7/8”) 8-braid (plait) nylon rope
  • Stainless steel (AISI 316)
  • With a maximum pull of 1,590kg (3500lb), and an anchor retrieval rate of 15m/min (50ft/min), the RC12-12 is one of the fastest and most powerful windlasses in its class
  • A sleek, low-profile version and a fluted stainless steel (AISI 316) capstan drum version, are available
  • The RC12 is packed with patented innovative features combined with Maxwell’s traditionally classic aesthetics, but reflecting the modern ‘form follows function’ principles of the highly successful RC6, RC8 and RC10 series windlasses
  • The elegantly designed deckplate and chainpipe cover are manufactured in polished marine-grade (AISI 316) stainless steel, as are the heavy duty pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel and fluted capstan drum
  • The huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker
  • Double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits ‘Free Fall’ anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement, ensuring safe and precise operator control
  • The RC12 features Maxwell’s revolutionary, patented Wave Design™ chainwheel
  • Emergency manual retrieval is made simple and easy with Maxwell’s unique “Active Latch Ratchet System” operation which prevents backwind of the windlass during manual hauling of the anchor
