Maxwell Marine‘s SY series are joined by a new windlass for superyachts. The SY38 will premiere at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show this September, presented at the SAIM Marine’s new booth.
SY38 Windlass
The SY 38 is the biggest stainless steel windlass ever designed and manufactured by the New Zealand company.
The new model is featured by a 38mm maximum chain size and it is available as hydraulic or electric, driven by a 22kW motor.
Maxwell Marine is currently manufacturing two AC powered SY38’s in its New Zealand factory for a 90 meter superyacht, in addition to a complete ancillary anchoring package consisting of two VC32 (320 mm warping drum diameter) stern handling capstans and two mirror polished Chain Stopper/Tensioner units, along with other support equipment such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s), hand held windlass controllers/chain counters and an integrated electronic windlass monitoring helm station system and chain counter linked to the vessel’s on board computer.
“The brand new SY 38 and the supply for a 90-m yacht confirms the company ability – commented Marco Donà from Saim Marine – to offer customers top quality equipment, in response to the demand for larger superyachts by boatyards and naval architects and engineers all over the world”.
