Freedom Rope/Chain Series

The Freedom Series of automatic rope/chain windlasses incorporate Maxwell's design technology for rope to chain spliced rodes.

Freedom's unique, compact design and elegant styling, has made it the
primary choice of both boat builders and boat owners around the world.
An independent test report rates freedom as the number one automatic
rope/chain windlass in its class.

Features
