(Also, as much as I’d like to retrieve without a windlass)My dad (experienced ocean sailor and Great Lakes) told me that the we’d rarely extend the chain at anchor and he was right. Had experimented with a larger anchor and it did not stow as neatly, which, overall was more of an issue in practice. So, my $.02 - you are probably more than fine with the smaller, easier to stow option.Dave

Our boat seems to sit between the Mantus 25 and 35 and Vulcan 12 or Rocna 15. I cruise on Lake Ontario and have 30 feet of chain and 150 feet of rope. Thanks in advance,DougCeltic Knot33-2 c/b
