Lofrans Royal - Anchor stopper
We have a
Lofrans
Royal
windlass
.
There is a metal bracket which engages with notches in the
gypsy
- but when engaged it stops the
windlass
from coming in?!?!?!
Shouldn't it be designed to stop the windlass from going out if the
clutch
fails?
Confused.

Re: Lofrans Royal - Anchor stopper
Interesting. It doesn't appear in the pics on the dealership site. Although the mount is still in the casting. I wonder if it could be something to do with being able to use the
rope
capstan seperate from the
gypsy
?

Re: Lofrans Royal - Anchor stopper
It’s so you can lock the gypsy so you can release the
clutch
to drop the anchor
