You mean, stuff to go on the boat? A windlass. Now I get to install
it.

Or do you mean boat-y looking stuff to lay around the house? We
already
have so much of that, from years and years of gifts from non-sailing
friends, that I don't let any more into the house.


Both. Electric windlass, I presume? Didn't your tug have one?

Yes and no.

We got one of these

My first pick was an Ideal but it would have needed a custom drum fitted
and cost more than twice as much. If anybody is interested I'll post
some photos of the installation as it goes along.

1000W, 800# working load, power up & down. There is a wireless remote
option I'm thinking hard about.

This should be a welcome addition to our cruising, even without the
wireless remote. Anchoring has been a bit of a grunt-n-groaner.
