New Lewmar VX1 500w/8mm gypsy Windlass - 29th April 2023

 Went to the boat this weekend to finally replace the old Simpson Lawrence Windlass with a New Lewmar VX1 Windlass. All went really well, had re drill the foredeck in a few places and plug the old chain feed hole. All went well and by the end of the day everything was done and working.

Finally got me  out the door
