Stus-List Electric windlass

[Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List]

I love our windlass.  We didn’t have one on our 35 MK1 and hardly ever anchored 
as a result.  
Now we anchor often and it has really enhanced our cruising experience.

Just bought a used manual windlass and a Milwaukie M28 Battery operated Angle 
Drill. Friend has the same set-up and it rocks. And it you want to get that 
main up fast, try this   <https://www.thecranker.com/>

One of the most despised machines on all four sailboats I have owned is the 
electric windlass.  You literally don’t know when it will and won’t function!  
Buy a manual winch or go to the gym regularly.

Hello all,

 

I have a 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

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