Alex, thanks for sharing the project documentation. Nice job with the anchor mount in the lazarette. This fall, I was thinking about making a mount for my Fortress anchor so it would rest sideways in chocks inside against the front side of the lazarette. I would need to add a backing board to do that. My anchor tends to find its way to the bottom of the lazarette with stuff piled on top so I was thinking about mounting in a place where it wasn't likely to be blocked and I could get to it easily. This brings up another question to Peter regarding his many anchors :) Peter, do you trail your boat with the anchors left mounted on the bow roller as well as the danforth anchor mounted on the stern rail? Or do you stow those for towing? I'm afraid of the anchors becoming deadly flying objects in the case of an accident, but stowing them so they don't bang around in the lazarette is another consideration. As part of my fall projects, I'm also thinking about making chocks on the floor of the lazarette for my other anchor to secure it for travel purposes (this is the Mantus M2 that will rest on a bow roller for normal sailing once I get that installed). Just curious about your approach for anchor storage while towing... Jesse Shumaker S/V ZephyrSee the original archive post
