Lewmar Gypsy Drum Deck Unit - V4/V5

The Lewmar Gypsy Drum Deck Unit V4/V5 is a compact stainless steel windlass system engineered for both power and sailboats requiring reliable, corrosion-resistant anchor handling. This deck unit combines a rope-chain gypsy with a robust worm gearbox and splined shaft to deliver the control and durability demanded in marine environments where salt exposure and repetitive anchor operations are the norm.

The cone clutch mechanism enables smooth, effortless control during anchor deployment and retrieval, while the manual free-fall feature provides quick descent when necessary. The W.A.R.P Drum (Windlass Anchor Recovery Package) enhances the system's functionality for serious cruisers and fishing vessels that demand precision anchor management. Stainless steel construction ensures the windlass withstands extended exposure to saltwater spray and harsh marine conditions without degradation, a critical advantage for vessels operating in coastal or offshore waters.

This windlass is designed for boat owners who prioritize dependable anchor systems that reduce manual labor and improve safety during docking, anchoring, and recovery operations. Weekend cruisers benefit from the intuitive clutch control, while serious offshore anglers and long-distance sailors appreciate the robust drivetrain engineered to handle sustained use in demanding conditions. The compact deck profile keeps weight distributed efficiently while maintaining the strength required for vessels ranging from mid-sized sailboats to substantial power cruisers.
