Synonymous with the ANDERSEN name is precision, reliability and the ability to adapt to any situation. Based on the solid foundation of these achievements and expertise a full range of electric DC or hydraulic powered Stainless Steel Capstans were designed for middle sized Yachts from 11 meters up to 70 meter Super Yachts.

The capstan range features the unique and well-known trademarks of the ANDERSEN quality and design to ensure many years of trouble free use as well as a timeless and uniquely sharp design.
The highly polished stainless steel drum surface provides an exclusive finish and look which will remain year after year.  By cold pressing the drum from stainless steel it is much lighter and  stronger than the traditional casting method. The base plate is cast from aluminum bronze, which had double the strength of ordinary bronze. The holding power provided by the Power Ribs© requires fewer turns compared to other capstans.

The ANDERSEN Capstan™ drums have vertical ribs running up the surface, combined with the smooth polished corrosion-free stainless steel it avoids the risk of overrides and bumps when easing off under heavy loads as well as providing maximum grip and minimum wear on the ropes, reducing the replacement cost of the mooring lines. The grip from the stainless steel ANDERSEN Power Ribs™ will remain the same year after year, unlike capstans with an abrasive or sandpaper-like surface which have a tendency to wear down the mooring lines and drum surface itself.
