I'd be interested to hear if someone has an interesting solution or

My last couple of boats have had anchor windlasses with remote
controls at the helm. Works like a charm.

Mine too, but it is a valid question.

My only suggestion is to haul in line from the cockpit.

Pull the rode in taught to the bow and tie it off.
Then haul away as you move toward the anchor.

No need to actually "go forward" for that.
