No capstan on the 35'. We carry two anchors on Fireball, both
Danforths; a small <20 lb and a heavy >35 lb. Both we store vertically
in the cockpit side locker. The small one we uses for anchoring at
lunch time where we are with the boat or racing when the wind dies and
we sneak it over the side amidships so we can go thru the fleet at a
couple knots in an adverse current. The larger anchored is used for
overnight and has 20 ft of chain, whereas the rode for the light anchor
is a nylon line only. We carry two 200 ft 3 strand nylon rodes in the
bow locker.

Thanks Joe,
My wife and I have noticed this as well. Most, but not all, examples
have no windlass and we do like to anchor in bays for lunch now and
then and we've explored options to add a windlass even if it's just
manual.

Another thing you may not have thought of coming from a 23 foot
boat: Ground tackle. It is bigger, heavier, more expensive – by
FAR – and IMHO the 40 is on the ragged edge of what one can deal
with without a windlass, which is also not a cheap thing.
