Frost, ice, snow are not only a challenge for the crew, but also a serious load on the anchor system. In a cold climate, you need spires with special seals, anti-corrosion protection and a powerful motor capable of operating at sub-zero temperatures. Models designed for such conditions are available at https://gaelixmarineservice.com/anchoring-docking-mooring/windlasses-accessories/. Their motor is hermetically sealed, and the housing has additional protection against freezing. This allows you to anchor safely even in difficult winter conditions.
