Re: Stus-List Anchor Windlass for a C&C 37+

Yes! Having torn my rotator cuff pulling anchors. Not retrieving the anchor quickly enough using our old manual windlass; all the while breaking a boat pole to fend off a boat dragging into me, middle of the nightI've never looked back! I've glassed in the wind lass below deck, I feel best way!

Edd, Although nothing resembling an engineer or fiberglass expert, I constructed a 1/4” G10 shelf with a 4” x 4” box section underneath it and glassed the entire unit to the hull sides and the anchor locker bulkhead with bracing. I agree with Tom’s recommendation. Regards, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C

Edd, Mounted my Lewmar horizontal windlass on a custom structural ledge underneath the hatch cover. Chain drop into the deepest section of the anchor locker, FWIW. Regards, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit > On

After seeing a 37 come into the yard I work at, I am more firmly in the camp that the windlass should be mounted sub-deck. This boat had the windlass mounted forward of the hatch, which provides the ultimate in lack of drop for the chain fall, whoever thought this was a good idea ever considered t
