I had an anchor shipped that way one time, by bus, Vancouver to
Halifax. Was very amused when I picked it up. The guys just taped an
address label to the shank.
I won't say what kind of anchor so as to avoid the usual debate on the
merits!

I had it done to mine, in a color to match the hull, for about $250
plus shipping 4-5l years ago. Still looks like new--virtually
indestructable IMHO in the NC sun (no cover).
Not as traditional as the leather but a lot easier on me!
Also the local UPS store let me ship it without having it
wrapped--which was a real time saver with a 54 inch wheel. The company
wraps it in cardboard for the return trip however.

All,
With Tom going the leather route for covering his wheel, has anyone
had any experience with ColorWheelz? (http://www.colorwheelz.com)
All the best,
Edd

Tom,
It all looks great!
I can never justify the price of a leather cover, especially since I
usually wear gloves.

Here an update on our current winter projects. Nothing like what
Harry is doing with Mirage, but baby steps... ;)
Partial Sole Refinish.
After the extended discussions of everything from Varnish to
cows, I though I would share the result of our partial sole
refinish project. Most of the sole on Alera looked great, except
for one section at the bottom of the steps down into the main
cabin. Lynn pulled that section and did most of the work,
including the selection of the Deft Polyurethane Semi Gloss
finish. Lynn has always handled the bright work on Jubilee (our
former 72 MK1). And is now started to work her magic on Alera. We
did 4 coats and it looks like it will match up with the existing
finish perfectly.

my part I am in the process of putting a sweet Boatleather cover,
with padding, on the 48" Edson wheel. In cold weather the bare
metal would just leach the heat from my fingers, so this will be
a welcome upgrade. I rigged a bicycle stand to hold the wheel so
I can do it in the house. It is a tedious job, and I'm about 1/2
done so far. I plan on finishing it up during the big game today.
Here's how it looks so far -
