That North River boat windlass project is finally finished! (Photo.)
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. Photo of the project and the final result on my homepage he http://fishwisher.spaces.live.com/bl...1394!298.entry Now to get that anchor system wet out on Suisun Bay chasing sturgeon - hopefully next week!

Dale www.FishWisher.com 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: http://www.greensave.com/GS%20Plus%20001.jpg 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. -- John H All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking. |

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) |

Why all chain rode? *Even i'm not that paranoid. The 100' of chain is mainly for storage - it drops into the locker very nicely whereas rope would be more like herding cats, as one poster put it here recently. This is my third boat with windlass and all chain, and it works well on the delta. 2:1 scope is maximum needed as it stays put very well. On lakes I can anchor in 80' of water just fine.

Dale www.FishWisher.com Nice work! Why not cover the whole bow area with something that you can walk on? If you have to work up there on the water you really have limited space now. |

Well... of course the whole idea of a windlass is to stay off the bow. But if I had to go forward, I could unbutton the canvas and walk up there fairly well. But I don't plan on having to do that!
