| I’m looking at buying a 415. There is not much drop for the anchor chain which looks as though it would castle up to the winch. Is there a fix for this? Thanks. |

Not without major surgery I'm afraid. To be honest it depends on the amount of chain and the type. We have 100m of S/Schain and generally it falls well. ON occasion ive had to "help" with a stick. When we were looking at boats a few yeas ago the depth of the anchor locker seems to be an issue on many modern production boats. I guess a function of the desire to maximise interior space.
