RE: Windlass, not a clue!!!

IF you have ever anchored in tight places such as Block Island you will see the advantage of all chain

Visiting Block, we simply use a Bahimian moore , two anchors fore and aft , lead to the bow , and stay in place and watch the crowd .

This way we can anchor in the shallower water , where the locals have grabbed all the space to charge for moorings .

Much easier to avoid a moored boat than an imbecile with 300 ft of line out.
