I am very close to taking
delivery of a new
Lagoon 400s2 (10 tonnes lightship and my main
anchor will weigh 36 kg). I intend to live aboard full time and expect to be on the pick most of the time. For the first year I will be cruising in the Med.
Lagoon 400s now come with a Quick 1000 watt
windlass:
I have heard some reports that a more powerful windlass would be better. Some have suggested 1250 watts is more appropriate, one suggested one size bigger than 1250 watts.
I have heard one report that Quick is not a robust brand and I should consider replacing with a Muir or a Lewmar.
I would like to know the opinions of members on this issue, and particularly members with a similar sized
boat and
anchor usage similar to my expected usage.
Thanks
Brian
