Hi guys,
I have been slowly upgrading my '81 37c while also enjoying sailing it each season. This year I have been looking at the anchor and rode. I have yet to try out the anchor since purchasing it. (I have a good marina, and we have been doing day sails since purchasing) Before haul out last year I did peek again into the anchor locker and saw a very old danforth anchor, some rusted chain, and some old nylon braid. I would like to upgrade anchor, rode and add a windlass. I know there is a lot of discussion about TYPE of anchor, which I had been looking at a Rocna, but what size? What size chain and what size/type windlass have people been using on a 37c?
