Muir Storm Vertical Series
The Storm Vertical Series delivers the strength of a conventional vertical windlass with more advanced, innovative engineering underneath. Recognised for its sleek curved housing, the range is available in low profile (VR) or capstan (VRC) configurations, with models to suit recreational and commercial vessels up to 25 metres (83ft).
Why choose Muir
Every model is precision-engineered in Tasmania from 316 marine-grade stainless steel and bronze, built to resist corrosion and keep running quietly through years of demanding saltwater use. The low-profile VR housing suits vessels where deck clearance is tight, while the VRC capstan variant adds a warping drum for handling mooring lines and stern warps alongside anchor rode.
From the compact VR600 through to the heavy-duty VR4000, there is a model sized for almost any recreational or commercial anchoring setup, each backed by genuine Muir parts, a manufacturer warranty, and local technical support out of Melbourne. Gearboxes, motors, and gypsies are interchangeable within the range, which keeps servicing straightforward and spare parts easy to source years after purchase.
