I put a windlass on Secret Plans 7 years ago and have loved it ever since -
makes anchoring so much easier that it isn't thought of as a hassle. I glassed
a beam into the back of the anchor locker, fastened an aluminum bracket to it,
and attached to the windlass to that - so it is not above
I’ve been toying with the idea of installing an electric windlass on my
C too.
Options I’ve been considering:
1. Install a custom made aluminum (or fibreglass) hatch like this

2. Glass a shelf into the locker
3. Cut existing hatch and fortify portion for windlass
Anchor windlass on CnC33-2 ?
We have a 25# CQR, 25' of chain, and 200' of 3-strand nylon.
Getting the nylon up is not a big problem even at 74 yrs, but the chain as
Dave points out, besides being hard to handle manually, will hop the
centerline roller, then grind against the pulpit and/or the roller

Choose your anchor carefully. I have a 15 Kg Bruce knock off and about 60
feet of 5/16 anchor chain and that’s really all I want to haul by hand at
68. That anchor has never slipped and others have felt comfortable to raft
up alongside over night. I wear thick rubber gloves to retrieve my anchor.
I see no response yet, and have until recently (just turned 56) felt that
the 33-2 was really too small to warrant a windlass. Am now on the fence.
Also noticed a 32 at my marina with what appear to be a tidy installation of a
vertical windlass. (Adrian, will try to get some pics.)
Anyone installed an anchor windlass on a 33-2?
How did you?
Thanks,
