If you're talking about getting it back aboard, maybe.
If you're talking about having the anchor & rode loose & flailing
against the hull, keel, & rudder, while underway offshore.... the
windlass ain't gonna help.

.... *That damned thing even picked up a tree the
anchor got caught in...no sweat.


So, you're in the Army Corps of Engineers Auxiliary?
BTW thanks from all of us that use the ICW
