I spoke to Captain Bruce this morning and he is ordering me one to replace my SL Anchorman that is on it's last leg. What a wonderful deal. Thanks so much for making this available to the IPYOA members. Now I have to dig up Hayden's pictures and description of what is involved in replacing the old SL and making my Chain fall in place nicely

Thanks for setting this up Hayden.
On doing a little research it appears that the gypsey is for chain only, no chain/rope rode. Is this correct or can it be converted?

As you know, I am in the process of sailing slowly around the world and use a mixed rode - 200 feet chain/200 feet rope - to keep the bow weight down.

I've been researching these windlass for quite some time and have never run across a Tigres that isn't both gypsy and drum.

This windlass is for both chain and rope. The left side of the windlass has a capstan for rope and the right side has the gypsy for chain. They operate independently of each other.
For more details and/or to order call Captain Bruce at 201.400.1442 or write This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Hi, thanks for the info.
As you can appreciate, with a rope/chain combo rode, (for reasons detailed above), it is a tad difficult to pull up on the capstan side whatever rope is out and then the 200 feet of chain on the gypsey side, especially as the capstan side does not align with the bow roller over which the rode is being pulled.
Seems like it will not work for me. Too bad.

I would not give up but rather I would ask Lofrans. Most chain gypsy drums can also pull in rope as it falls deeper into the teeth. I would ask this question to the manufacturer.

I am afraid that your use of rope and chain is a very uncommon set up. There are two reasons for this, you are putting a lot of faith on a rope to chain knot in safekeeping your 200' of chain. If the rope fails you lose 200' of chain and an anchor. Most folks carry two anchors, one lunch hook on rope (with a very short piece of chain, say 6'), and one larger anchor on all chain. This is still workable for you. Separate the rope and chain and only use the chain gypsy with the chain. If as you say, you are going to cruise the world you should not give a second thought to setting up a proper system. As it is you could be throwing away your chain and anchor at your first anchorage. :-(

Points to ponder, indeed. Maybe we have been lucky, but we have been in hundreds of anchorages across the pacific, around Australia, through Indonesia, across the Indian and down to Cape Town where we are currently. The rope chain set up has worked well.
I will do as Hayden suggests and enquire abour rope/chain gypseys with Lorfan direct.

Thanks,

Neil

Think real long on that idea, at first it seams like it is possible but after you really think about it you realize that when dropping the anchor you are inviting a real problem. when the chain rope joint hits the gypsy and poofdah

But then that is only my opinion and worth what you paid for it.

Yes, maybe you have been lucky. I know a neighbor near my Florida house who has been crossing route 19 in a power chair for more than 20 years without a mishap, that is until this year, he unfortunately is, no longer with us.

I am sorry but what you are looking for is the Lofrans 'Titan' which weighs in at a hefty 115 kg. and costs 6197.80 USD. PLUS shipping.

The Unit we are offering is the Lofrans Tigres which would be set up for you with a captan for rope & chain on the port side and a Gypsy for 5/16" HT (G4) chain on the Starboard side.

Lastly, this IPYOA SPECIAL OFFER at $1795 will end next week and the cost will rise to the regular discounted price of $1995.00

I had anticipated 5/16 chain + Rope on port side, and 5/16 chain only on starboard side. Do you suggest the Titan because of the size and weight of an IP 44 (27,500 lpb displacement -- plan to use a 55 lp rocna on port and a Fortress on starboard, although had not quite figured out how to get them both to ride. Or because I didn't need the rope.

We use 300' of 5/16 chain on starboard and 250 feet of 5/16 ht on port. I begin to clutch my chest at the price of the Titan. When I look at the pulling power and specs of my old HWC 2200, the Tigress seems about the same as I remember, although I may be reading them wrong. the HWC 2200 is 2200 pounds at 50 feet per minute, while the tigress is 2300 pounds at 80 feet per minutes.

Mike, I do not see any problem with using the Tigres on a IP-44, the Tigres is more than 3000 pounds at approx 60 to 105 feet per minute which exceeds the HWC spec. Actually I only offered up the Titan as an out of the box duel gypsy windlass, but that windlass is much too big for ANY Island Packet. The dead lift alone is over 3000 pounds and the windlass itself almost weighs 300 pounds, additionally this unit uses 140 amps at 24 volts, most boats wont even have that supply.
Lofrans Tigres Spec
Consumption: 1500 W / 12 V 130 Amp
Max. Pull: 1500 kg
Application Load: 190 kg
Max. Lift Load: 750 kg
Hauling Speed: 20 - 35 m/min
Gipsy For Chain: 8 mm, ISO 4565
