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!

I think there's a pretty good case for what you say... seems to me
that most people would want to have some help with a bigger boat? That
means coordinating a bunch of people or both people in a couple having
time and money to take off at the same time.
