Make lock winding easier with GOWindlass

-

LIGHT and sitting comfortabl­y in the hand, the GOWindlass is a ratchet windlass designed to ease the winding of lock paddles.

The polycarbon­ate revolving handle reduces friction and avoids those too hot and cold hold situations.

This pump-action windlass combines a reversible ratchet for raising lock paddles with an integral fixed socket for controllin­g the descent.

With an assured action, and being strong and easy to use, it is designed to fit standard tapered spindles on the inland waterways.

Only one kilogram in weight, it allows boaters optimum leverage for their height and stature and for the lock at hand.

Raising canal locks requires considerab­le effort to get the initial movement started.

The GOWindlass allows you to commence winding at the optimum angle, then use a pump action or continue full circular winding as desired.

The GOWindlass is available to order online at gowindlass. co.uk where you can also find customer testimonia­ls and online videos.
