Sunseeker International and Lewmar have recently signed a new supply agreement which will see Lewmar’s V-Series windlasses, C-series capstans and anchoring accessories installed across the entire Sunseeker Yacht Range.

Lewmar have supplied windlasses to Sunseeker yachts for a number of years on boats up to 100ft, but the new agreement sees the introduction of the impressive V9, V10 and V12 onto the larger superyachts up to and including the flagship Sunseeker 155 Yacht, which is due to premiere at the London International Boat Show 2014.

Roger Cerrato, Lewmar’s UK Sales Manager, commented, “Sunseeker International have been fitting our all stainless V-Series windlasses for a number of years and this new agreement to include their larger vessels demonstrates that Lewmar now have a high quality, stylish and robust windlass solution for today’s most demanding Superyachts.”

To complement the windlasses, Lewmar has developed a range of bespoke hardware, including chain stoppers and devil’s claws, which allow the perfect fit and functionality that this premium yard and its customers expect. It has also invested in Variable Frequency Drive technology to allow very large A/C motors to be operated efficiently, smoothly and with minimal stress to mechanical components.

In addition, Lewmar is proud to have been recognised as one of Sunseeker’s key suppliers, receiving the “Best Value Added Supplier” award at Tuesday morning’s Southampton Boat Show prize ceremony. This is in recognition of Lewmar’s integrated supply of anchor chain sets which minimises packaging and storage space and reduces boatyard labour time during fit out. Awards were presented to suppliers in 10 categories who were all recognised for their exceptional performance in meeting the company’s stringent requirements.
