I am curious, how do you retrive the anchor the chain the rod and get it all in the basket and stored in the locker. I cant picture that ? Go forward pull up anchor,hope its clean, lug anchor with chain dangling overboard back to the cockpit set anchor down, retrieve rode from somewhere and flake wet rod in basket,pick up anchor again,and place in the bottom of a full locker so the water can drain. Where dose the remaining rod store at anchor? In the cockpit all night? You cant put it in a locker at anchor or you might spring the hinge. I am not converted yet Its not about how quickly you can store your anchor, but how fast you can deploy it safely. I definetly need to improve my ground tackle. The boat came with a small fortress the smallest I think, I want to go bigger, a lot bigger.
