Note: Many parameters have to be taken into account when selecting a windlass, such as displacement, windage, anchor, weight. etc. In the above chart the boat length correspondes to a vessel with average displacement. If your vessel is of heavy displacement, please consider using a larger windlass model. If in doubt, move up a model.
