Anchor Locker and Windlass

[Debra B]

Several people have commented on the small size of the anchor locker on the Hunter 37 Cutter. Does anyone have experience adding a windlass and adding additional storage capacity to the locker or using the space in the bow under the locker?Thanks for sharing what has worked, and what hasn't

Also see Carl's. . . . .

photos of his H37C. He enlarged the locker and added a very nice bowsprit. The pictures are at:http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=204587#a=1505977But the '#' must be replaced with a real ampersand. An ampersand will not display here, witness this '&'.

Anchor Locker

We used the space in the forepeak under the front of the V-berth. It easily stores 300 feet of rope and 50 feet of chain. Access was obtained by glassing in a 4 inch PVC hawsepipe from the front of the existing achor locker. The only problem is that the rope tends to buch up when bringing in the anchor and needs a little manual stowing help. The Anchor we now use is a 35 pound CQR permanently mounted in the anchor chocks.We kept the orginal anchor and rode in the existing well and use it as a lunch hook / second anchor.Let me know if you come up with anything creative as far a windless or anchor pulpit.
