Default Re: Help Picking a Windlass


Then I guess I have a horizontal ( which by the way it works and looks; seems like it should be called vertical ).

But, I stopped trying to make sense of certain things a long time ago.

Horizon - Horizon'tal - I guess the name sort of says it, but the gypsy, 'the pulley thing' that pulls the chain up is in a vertical attitude vs the flat windlass, which has a gypsy laying horizontal ?!
