Norm, My modifications to make anchoring convienent consist of the addition of a deckpipe and a bow roller. The Bruce anchor is always available on the bow roller with the rode attached to it. The rode goes through the deckpipe into the chain locker below. Lots of boats are setup this way. --Previous Message-- : Hi Lance, : Yep, I have the bulkhead door in the "V : berth compartment". I guess I expected : a forward hatch or something so as to deploy : the anchor without going below..if that : makes any sense. : Norm : : --Previous Message-- : Hi Norm, : The boats I've seen do have a locker door on : the bulkhead forward opening to a : substantial chain locker area. Does your : boat not have a door? Is there a bulkhead?? : Seems odd! : Lance : : --Previous Message-- : Please scroll down to "odds and : Ends" for an update. : : Not sure why I didn't notice it before, but : there is no home for the anchor rode, to say : nothing of an anchor. Is there a hatch : leading to the space forward of the V-berth : on some Yankee 30's? Is that the chain : locker? : : Thanks, Norm : : : : :
