- 55 Ft Steel Trawler
Hello!
I enjoy staying overnight at some branches of the Parana River´s Delta, here, near Buenos Aires.
To prevent it from blocking the navigation I have to anchor my boat (55 Ft trawler) using one anchor at the bow and one at the stern.
Until my wife is reasonable trained in maneuvering the boat I have to do everything by myself. The main problem I am experiencing is lifting the stern anchor (Fortress F 16) as it tends to get deeply stuck in the mud and once released (using the boat´s engines), lifting it by hand can get quite backbreaking. Using a capstan would be great.... but installing one at each side happens to be expensive and cumbersome. Any ideas?
