I will also put in plywood and glass this. I have seen this on other yachts in the charter business, like Bavaria's, and this seems to be more then sufficient for the strength. Please let me know if the space below the plate will be sufficient for the chain to fall in without toughing it. As I have a anchor winch control in the cockpit it would be nice to be using it raising the anchor as well.
Love to see foto's! |

I've moved my windlass forward, using the bracket design that I posted earlier in this thread. Here are some photos:
The "before" photo:
 "L" brackets (aluminum):
 Bracket closeup (screwed and glued with 3-M 5200 adhesive):
 Mounting Plate (1/4 inch aluminum, bolted to angle iron):
 Finished job (windlass bolted from below, wiring re-routed and hidden under bracket):
  So far it is working fine, with much less work keeping the chain from jamming. I think it is sufficient to screw and glue the angle iron to the sides of the locker because the forces on these joints are all "shear" forces. The plate is attached with carriage bolts and I made slots in the angle iron to make sure that the plate does not pull the angle irons inward when it is bolted down.
Our original windlass mount was an aluminum part so I was able to remove it (had to heat it to release the glue) and regain some space in the locker.

looks good
But how deep is it in your surrounding .... 1000 mtr?
How many meters of chain do you have.

landlocked (Owen). That doesn't look anything like your anchor locker that I viewed on the weekend! LOL Seriously though, you did an excellent job on the design and installation. Much better than the original... Steve |

Nice and thanks for the pictures. I'm thinking of putting some plywood with epoxy/glass though but am thinking of the same solution. Unfortunately my box is made of GRP so not that easy to remove. I will put a nice cleat there so that I can take the load of the anchor winch.
Ps. I like your thought on the number of meters of chain! That's safety when on anchor in a storm! |

Yes, I have a lot of chain. 300 feet I think. I've never used the whole length but it seemed like a good idea at the time (7:1 scope in 40 feet in a strong wind?).
How much chain/rode do other people have? If I get a good offer for some chain some time, how much should I sell?

Here's what it normally looks like:
 The chain doesn't look so long now does it?

@ landlocked , I think your shower drain will work perfect.
I gues the chain is 8 mm wich is aprox. 3 kg / mtr wich will say you cary 300 kg extra wieght in the bow!
Maybe I make a mistake in the weight but is is a lot , so wenn you also fill up your water tank there is about 600 kg pushing on the bow , looks to me it will sail well in light wetter , but in strong winds with a lot off waves , I have my doubt.

Ah yes, but I have another 400 feet of chain in the lazarette so it balances out.
Just kidding.
I think the chain is about 1 lb per foot, so about 300 lb or 150 kg in all. I remove it all for racing, but I'm curious how much most people carry for cruising?

We carry 60 metres (c. 200 feet) and yet hardly ever anchor at the moment. The plan is for that to change when we go long-term cruising in a year or two, however, and the anchor will then be used much more so it is an investment for the future. In the meantime, I guess I should really take half of it out and save the weight!
