A windlass is one of the best purchases I made for cruising—it saved my back!
How can you put a price on that?

I also use a chain hook as a third hand to secure the chain when retrieving -
this too is on a length of line and cleated to the bow cleat. Indispensable
when you are solo without a windlass.

Hopefully yours will look smaller on the boat than in your kitchen.
I secure it (10kg) to the bow cleat with a short lanyard and it stays put, only
very occasionally hopping off
I have it now – the thing is a beast. Time to see if I need to do anything to
the anchor roller to make it fit.
This may push me to look for a windlass at some point.

Greetings,
We are planning to replace our standing rigging this fall and I'm trying to
figure out what type of upper fitting is needed for the shrouds. The
owner's manual (1980 C&C 25 mkII) simply says "T-ball" for the forestay and
upper/lower shrouds. Looking around, it appears there are a number
And I can attest to the fact it's a great boat. The graphics are fantastic. A

where it held my C&C 35 and a Catalina 36 rafted along side us. I have the

I have no firsthand experience, but I have read several places that the

the shape have big effects.

I saw a picture in the New York Times this morning of a couple large keelboats

A true Bruce is better than a Danforth. I have an Excell based on these

I had a Bruce on my 33 MkII and once I attached a long enough piece of chain
and rode it was great in the North Channel. I would recommend it but when I
bought a new anchor for my current boat I went for a Rocna and it might even be
better.

Some, if not many, of the boat finance companies charge different rates based
on age. Typically 20 years is the break point. Over 20 years is a higher rate

Full disclaimer - I am a broker.
As far as I know there is no formal thing as a buyer broker. That said, when

It might depend on what you are planning to spend. Most buyer agents split
the commission on a boat with the selling agent. You might find it hard to
get one involved with a used older boat. We bought our boat through a
Pop-Yachts listing and were provided a buyers agent automatically by

Re financing: My credit union will loan on boats 200 years old, they really
don’t care about age as long as there is survey to provide some idea of the

Adam,
+1 to Josh’s comments — it really helps if you are looking to borrow money to
purchase the boat and if there are murky title and inspection issues. But, as
Josh says, if you are capable and comfortable doing these things yourself (as
many seasoned boat owners already are) then it’s really

Is no extra expense. When using a buyers broker the commission is split
between the selling broker and the buying broker. On top of that the Buyers

A broker might be able to help you find a boat and if you are getting a
loan they can smooth the title, inspection, insurance, and loan process.
If you are comfortable with handling those things yourself then I would
