My 35/3 had a fairly light Danforth and 10 feet of chain. I used it only as a
lunch hook, and it was pretty easy to haul up by hand.
My 44 has a 35 pound anchor

I've not used a kellet, but another C&C owner, chef2sail, uses one and swears
by it. FWIW.

I completely agree with Mark's comments about chain--the big advantage is chafe
protection in areas where there is coral and not the shock absorbing of the
catenary effect. Actually, you need a snubber made from nylon rope to get any
significant shock absorbing benefit.

I use 30 feet of chain because I got tired of all the cruisers anchoring
I can't offer up anywhere near the experience of others on this

Chuck,
Avoiding chain on anchor rode means you’re giving up one of the most important
aspects of the rode: the catenary effect of shock absorbsion. By allowing
some of the chain to lie on the ocean (or lake) bottom, the effort that it
takes to lift the chain off the bottom before the line goe
Wow ! What's the weight of all that chain and anchor on the bow? I appreciate
your project and applaud you sharing the details.
At the risk of drawing out the "flamers", I think windlasses are a little
overrated.
Avoid chain and you don't need the windlass. Avoid the windlass and you don't
