Hi Tim
I bolted a Garhauer roller on the front, over the casting. Two bolts go
into the casting where I drilled and tapped holes, and two further aft
go thru the deck to a big backing plate. It is supported on a Starboard
wedge. Looks OK, and a lot cheaper than getting a custom fit.

Graham,
We've probably been down this road before, but what does your anchor
roller installation look like? I have the plain aluminium casting at
the bow of my 35-3 still.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Josh
I'll drop you some pics. I mounted mine below deck at the back of
the anchor locker. Lewmar V2 windlass. I also modified the
anchor locker lid to let the chain run into it. Very happy as it
doesn't clutter up the foredeck with things that I would bash my
toes on.

While we're on the topic of anchors, how do those of you with
windlasses have then mounted. I've considered one but can't
figure out a good solution for my 37+. Pictures would be awsome.

Hi Mark
I've got a Rocna 15 hanging on the front of Secret Plans, and
now that the boats are hauled if you like you could borrow it
to do a test fit and see how it hangs. I'm very happy with
it. I do have a windlass tho'

Looking for feedback on new anchors.
Currently I have a Kingston brand, 30lb, CQR anchor. Not too
impressed with its ability to bite even into the nicest sand.
Having read a ton of info, reviews and comments I'm looking
at the 'new' style anchors. I was tempted to go with a
Mantus - but price is high and no local distributer. Ronca's
are on sale right now at the Binnacle - so that makes the
decision easier.
The question is what size. I've read the typical 'minimum 1
foot of chain and 1 pound of anchor for every foot of boat'.
But not sure how well it applies to new versions.
Reading Ronca's recommendations
http://www.rocna.com/product-range/sizing-guide
My 8000lb 30 ft CS 30 would easily fit the 10kg (22lb)
recommendation.
Sure. For the extra $60 I could bump up to the bigger
anchor. Not sure how well either will fit on my bow. I'm
sure the heavier anchor would be harder to haul up - but
maybe worth it for the peace of mind?
Reading some independent reviews (as posted by Ronca)
http://www.petersmith.net.nz/boat-anchors/independent-performance-testing.php
One claims the Ronca 15 consistently held with 4500lbs.
A chart ( The ABYC Horizontal Working Load (lbs) Table) of
expected anchor strains suggests a 30ft boat would only
exert 2800lbs of anchor strain in a 60kt severe storm ---
not something I expect to confront in my costal cruising.
I'm on the fence. On one hand tempted to just bump up to the
15kg and deal with the minor extra challenge dragging the
anchor up (I'm fit enough to manage) - then its never a
concern and when I do start venturing further along the
coast I have a security blanket.
On the other wondering if I'm getting into foolish overkill
as the 15kg anchor could manage a boat 2x my weight in a
heavy storm.
Thoughts and opinions welcome.
Mark
