windlass
windship
Boat is an Irwin CC.
There is no anchor locker just an opening to guide the anchor rode into the locaker. Don''t know the depth of the anchor locker but is quite deep.
Will be mounted on deck. Only issue here is the location of the guide opening vs the location of the windlass. There is a location already marked for what I assume is where a windlass should be mounted.
I currently have approx. 10'' of chain then 150'' of rope (size I don''t know off hand) Anchor is a Fortress 30lbs. All this is good for the Chesapeake but have intentions to head down the ICW then into the Gulf and the Caribbean.
I will be changing to all chain and am interested in one that can handle both chain & rope since I would like to have a second anchor up on the bow for safety reasons. Will also be changing main anchor to a Bruce. Will keep the Fortress as a second anchor up forward.
Have not considered price since my first concern is safety. Don''t want to go to exspensive. How about I cite a figure of $1500.00 max.
Thanks
Ray
