I was itching to spend 3 nights on the boat, sailing about and finding nice coves...BBQ.
I opted to buy a danforth anchor and for my boat...(According to Skip Novak) I needed a 22 lb anchor to hold my S2 in 25 knot winds gusting to 30ish. Finding the perfect cove for prevailing winds I set my anchor and started my anchor watch app. The winds blew and she held fast, however, the next morning I could not free the anchor no matter what I did...my 150 buck anchor was on the line. I motored over it, pulled till red in the face. Donned my dive gear and dove the anchor...burried so deep in mud i could not budge it. remitted the anchor and 30 feet of chain to the bottom.
Anyway.....in my single handed tugging I saw a vision of a shinny windlass near my anchor locker......where and what type would you install on a 9.2a or what type has worked good for you
