One of the most beloved machines on mine is the electric windlass. Your
mileage may vary...

won’t function! Buy a manual winch or go to the gym regularly.

I was very glad I installed a windlass on my 40. I got a low profile

Hello all,
I have a C&C 37/40+ with a 15 kg/35 lb. Delta anchor and 4' of 8
MM chain. I can get the anchor up reasonably easily. I am
thinking of upgrading the anchor to a 45 lb. Rocna or Mantus M1
because that is the size recommended by the manufacturer. My
only concern is whether I'm going to find it particularly
difficult to pull up without a windlass.
I have a good anchor roller, and have installed a chain lock so I
can pause if needed because the boat swings or to help pull the
anchor out once we get the rode/chain vertical.
I'm not a hugely muscular guy, just a typical 5' 9" guy in his
later 50s.
I'd really like to avoid putting in a windlass, at least for now
and the Delta has held pretty well in the sandy bottom here in
west Florida.
Thanks for your insights
