Default Single Handed Anchoring off the bow

I have been intrigued by the discussion of anchoring -- especially the
thought of rigging an anchor so one can drop it off the bow from the
cockpit. Thinking about spin pole, cleats, hatches, etc., I wonder if
anyone has figured out the best ways to accomplish this maneuver with
the least risk. And how early in the game did they rig their anchor set
up.

To respond, obviously drop the "nospan"?


You just use a power windlass with a self dropping anchor with a up/
down switch at the helm.
