Lead the free rode back to the aft fairlead and winch, release the
rode at the bow & haul.

SNIP

Due to language problems on my part, I'm sure I fully understand your
first procedure, because, I don't know, what a fairled is ... Sorry.
Is it some kind of wheel og "thing", that keeps the rode/chain and
the anchor free of the side/stern? What I find pretty difficult is
not to scratch the glass fibre side (called freeboard?), when i use
the winch for the spinaker/genua. Hauling from the bow, the rode and
the anchor goes (almost) free of the sides of the boat.

In this case, the fairlead is an open-top "C"-shaped piece of metal that
serves much the same purpose of the anchor roller up front. The rode and
chain hit that instead of the fiberglass.

It doesn't protect the fiberglass very well once the anchor is free and
being hauled straight up, but since we now need to avoid hitting other
boats, cleat it off, motor forward until you're in safe water, then haul
what you can forward to the bow, cleat off, release everything at the
stern and haul normally from the bow.

As I said, this is a messy and slow method. The more I remember, the
less I'm likely to use it.
