That's what a windlass is for.
I picked the task of dropping and retrieving the anchor as a common task
that one does on the foredeck, there are other other reasons such as
handling dock lines that require you to walk the curved foredeck of a
bubble boat, that can be very difficult when the foredeck is wet. I
learned the hard way not to use the "Wash and Wash" soap on a bubble boat.

On a serious note, I am surprised how often I see people waxing the
foredeck including the non skid surfaces of these nice curved foredeck.
