If you find yourself actually needing an anchor windlass then it should
tell
you that what you really need is a smaller boat with smaller ground
tackle.
Or, you might need to examine your technique. If you can't brute force
something perhaps you can finesse it - like using the displacement of
your
hull to break the anchor free or reducing the chain length or using the
(heaven forbid) the auxiliary. Just a thought.


There speaks the man with the tiny boat. Exhibiting both his envy of
his betters and his stupidity.



It is a well-known FACT that smaller sailboats sail more often than their
larger cousins.

Case closed!

If that is true, and I'm not saying that it is, what is your excuse
for sitting there for all these years on the yellow peril?


Waiting for the right girl to come along, maybe? When a man has sailed the
world lone-handed he just might decide it would be a nice thing to share
with the right woman.
