Lewmar V1/V2/V3 Gypsy & Stripper Kit (No. 001)

The Lewmar V1/V2/V3 Gypsy & Stripper Kit (No. 001) is a replacement gypsy and stripper assembly designed for Lewmar's V1, V2, V3 windlasses, as well as the discontinued Concept 1 windlass model. This kit provides the essential components needed to restore or service anchor handling systems on modern cruising sailboats and commercial vessels where reliable rope and chain management is mission-critical.

The gypsy and stripper assembly handles 5/8-inch (15.8 mm) three-strand rope and 5/16-inch (7.94 mm) G4 chain—specifications that match the original equipment specifications for these windlass models. The gypsy drives the anchor line while the stripper separates chain from rope, allowing operators to manage mixed-scope (rope-to-chain) anchor systems common in offshore and coastal applications. Lewmar's engineering ensures precise tolerances and material compatibility across all compatible windlass generations, minimizing fit issues and operational friction.

This replacement kit serves vessel owners, marine technicians, and liveaboard cruisers who need to maintain or upgrade existing anchor systems without replacing an entire windlass assembly. Whether addressing wear from extended cruising, salt-air corrosion, or upgrading from an older Concept 1 installation, the V1/V2/V3 kit provides OEM-spec components at a lower cost than full-unit replacement. The kit is sold as an individual unit, making it suitable for single-windlass installations or staged repair schedules on multi-anchor setups.
