How do you handle this situation, if you're the only person on the
boat? I mean, how do you get the anchor in place with the chain/rode,
without damaging the freeboard?

Lead the free rode back to the aft fairlead and winch, release the
rode
at the bow & haul.

SNIP

If I'm in a hurry, I'll lash the tiller amidships, put the engine in
gear just enough to ease the tension slightly, then haul from the bow.
Once we're *near* free, I'll walk back, kick the boat out of gear,
then
finish up on the anchor. It's easy to bring an anchor in from about
2:1
if there's any wave action, which you'll have in those winds.

Thank you for your explanation. The last idea, I have tried with some
success ... but my back does not like it ...

Due to language problems on my part, I'm sure I fully understand your
first procedure, because, I don't know, what a fairled is ... Sorry. Is
it some kind of wheel og "thing", that keeps the rode/chain and the
anchor free of the side/stern? What I find pretty difficult is not to
scratch the glass fibre side (called freeboard?), when i use the winch
for the spinaker/genua. Hauling from the bow, the rode and the anchor
goes (almost) free of the sides of the boat.
