I mounted a shelf in the anchor locker because I thought the back of the locker was too flimsy on my boat to take the strain and there was a gap between it and the plywood bulkhead. I glassed some knees to the hull right where the balsa tapers and bolted the shelf to the knees. The shape of the hull helps combat the strain. I put in a Lewmar V700, which handles the 35# Delta and 100 feet of 1/4" HT chain (plus 300' of 1/2" nylon 3-strand) quite nicely. The picture shows the original configuration. I since installed a Lewmar wired remote and a Starboard "beater board" between the locker and the forestay to take the whacking of the chain. http://members.shaw.ca/ptarmiganshift/images/IMG_0957.jpg I have the whole thing documented in pictures if anyone is interested.
