Windlass

Driven by the wind, powered by the sun, steered by the wind. Sail now

Hirta is fitted (2016)  with an electric Lewmar Pro Series windlass

This can be controlled from either the rocker switch on the panel, a trailing wire through the forward hatch or by the remote control

(I have never used the rocker switch or trailling lead, always the remote)
