Gipsy for 10mm ISO and rope for lofrans cayman 1000W

[CaptainRivet]

Looking for a gipsy for a lofrans cayman 88 1000W that can handle a 10mm ISO chain and rope (assume 16mm or 18mm would be ok). The original gipsy is not suitable for a rope due to owner manual.

Wanna operate a 50m 10mm chain/50m rope rode with the cayman. Windlass is overhauled and have quite a new quality 50m 10mm ISO 4G chain, a new 10mm chain stopper installed that also works as chain guide to the gypsy. It’s a 40ft Lavezzi, loaded with all gear 8.5t. So going for a 8mm g70 not an option. Exchanging to a gypsy that can handle this combo would make sense.
need up to 100m rode to be able to Anker in 30-40m deep water. All chain is too heavy and also quite expensive.

Anyone knows a gypsy fitting the lofrans cayman that works with 10mm chain and 18mm rope?

Thats the original one which does not support rope due to the manual. The 8mm does, the 10mm not.
I am looking for a different gypsy that supports 10mm chain AND rope fitting this cayman windlass. Maybe from another windlass that fits the cayman or aftermarket one.

I am not sure to understand.

The Cayman windlass has an horizontal axis. On the right side (looking forward) it has a gipsy for anchor chain, and on the left hand side, it includes are regular winch for any type of rope, what ever is the diameter.
My understanding is that when switching from rope to chain, you have to manually move the chain/rope from one side to the other.

This is what I have always done when enchoring using a mixed ground tackle.
