I switched the standard Delta for a Lewmar Epsilon during commissioning. I felt this was an improvment then got the lighter and collapsible Vulcan as a backup / stern anchor. When I tried this out the performance was at least as good if not better than the Epsilon and all my crew felt it was a better anchor and much easier to manhandle. I can still use the pin to secure the anchor when sailing but prefer to use a short rope to the starboard clear to stop any movement.

The bow thruster went in front of rhe water tank, and two batteries to starboard under the bedframe, there is niche there but you have to cut an access. I also installed Webasto ac unit to a similar niche on port which added another 20 kg.

I got the upgrade to the 21 kg Ultra anchor with the 100m of chain. Still rides high. Love the Ultra though. Sets, holds and comes up easy.

Here’s where my ottoman lives now. The rubber feet on the bottom keep it from sliding around. Just made a pretty rough passage and it hardly moved - it’s right next to the keel. It’s. Become my lounging spot and I still have the storage.
