  1. Excalibur S612 Horizontal Windlass
    #3 horizontal windlasses3.2Full review

    A lot of pull for the money on boats up to about 40 ft with no room below deck. The lack of a stated warranty is the catch.

  2. Excalibur C612 Vertical Windlass
    #2 vertical windlasses3.0Full review

    A strong, low cost vertical windlass for boats up to about 40 ft. Buyers trade the long warranty of Lewmar or Maxwell for much more pull per dollar.
