I finished the windlass install a week ago, but needed a canvas cover
for the bow to hide all the hardware that supports the windlass, and I
think it turned out pretty well.

Now to get that anchor system wet out on Suisun Bay chasing sturgeon -
hopefully next week!

I gotta tell you, that looks like a damn fine job! I don't know if
your snaps are really tight, but rather than take the chance of
tearing any fabric you might consider one of these:

These are metal, but plastic ones work just as well for releasing the
snaps. You can probably find them for free at your local golf course.

Great job.

Nice job. I have a delta anchor for my sailboat and I love it. They
will swerve and then re-set whereas the Danforth anchors may not hold
when wind shifts a lot. Unfortunately, I haul mine by hand and I
think it is bigger'n yours (28' boat weighing 8000lbs)
