anchor locker modification

[s/v "DREAMER"]

Hi fellow H37c slaves. Some time ago I saw an article written by some wise, and thoughtful H37c owner who had enlarged his anchor locker. I can't find the article, and if anyone knows of this article, please let me know where to find it. Thanks. Remember, if you're ever in Hawaii, come sailing with me.

Large Locker

I modified mine and can carry 2 anchor rodes plus extra anchors. I followed Genes guide lines "Rainbow Chaser" (see link here on HOW). Basicly I cut out the old well leaving a 3 inch drop on the front 3 sides and leaving the whole back that has the chain plate for the sta sail. I cut a new back that went behind the existing one and extended to the area in the hull that get thicker at the water line. Also at this area I cut a new floor all out of 1" marine ply. I glassed every thing in using West system and reinforced the hull wall a bit. I installed 2 pad eyes to dead end the roads to. I'll get a few photos if you need them and feel free to write me if you have any questions.
