16/17 1. Windlasses Nickel-Plated Brass Core A nickel-plated brass core is used for increased rope grip, utilising the proven design from our full windlass range. Hybrid Polymer Composite Our engineering team are continually exploring, evaluating and testing new materials to ensure we offer cutting-edge products that are lighter, stronger and optimised for best performance. The Lewmar patented Hybrid Gypsy offers a 15% reduction in weight, is 5% stronger and offers an endurance life comparable to all metal gypsies.The Hybrid Gypsy's greatest attribute is the quietness when operating.The composite surface means there is no grating sound from metal-on-metal contact. 4 sizes are available in 6/7mm (1/4"), 8mm,10mm DIN and 10mm ISO. Chain Counter Magnet Every Hybrid Gypsy is factory-fitted with a chain counter magnet, compatible with our full range of AutoAnchor products. Lewmar has developed a patented Hybrid Gypsy, which uses a metal anchor warp core together with a polymer chain wheel.This combination offers a lightweight and quiet solution that ensures a smooth operation, while still offering the long-life durability of a traditional metal gypsy and pulling power.The polymer chain wheel allows the anchor rode chain to bed-in, creating a jump free quieter operation, while the metal core grips the warp during deployment and retrieval of the anchor rode.
