RAZZA

The RAZZA horizontal windlass series is engineered for boat owners who demand dependable anchoring performance in a compact and elegant form. Designed and manufactured by Lofrans, RAZZA windlasses are built to meet the expectations of modern yachts, where reliability, corrosion resistance, and ease of use are equally important.

Thanks to their horizontal configuration, RAZZA windlasses offer a practical solution for vessels with limited space below deck while maintaining a clean and uncluttered foredeck appearance. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from leisure cruising yachts to day boats and RIBs.

Horizontal Design for Efficient Deck Installations

RAZZA windlasses feature a horizontal layout that allows efficient use of deck space and simplifies installation. The motor is integrated within the stainless-steel housing, while the gypsy system ensures smooth and controlled handling of both chain and rope/chain combinations.

This configuration is particularly suitable for:

• motor yachts and sailing yachts with restricted below-deck volume

• RIBs and compact vessels

• installations requiring a low and discreet deck profile

• refits where existing deck layouts must be preserved

The horizontal design also allows easier access for inspection and maintenance, reducing downtime and simplifying long-term ownership.

Marine-Grade Construction and Corrosion Resistance

All RAZZA windlasses are manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion in harsh marine environments. This makes them ideal for continuous exposure to saltwater, humidity, and UV radiation, including year-round use in Mediterranean conditions.

Durability features include:

• IP67-rated motor cover for maximum protection against water ingress

• sealed gearbox and protected electrical components

• robust stainless-steel housing designed for mechanical strength and longevity

These characteristics ensure consistent performance and reduced maintenance requirements over the service life of the windlass.
