Big Monkey, any chance of posting a pic or two, or a link to some pics, as I am having trouble visualising this vessel, and why it has two stern Sampson posts.
Our sort of boats only have one at the bow to take the strain of an anchor or anchor strop pulling any lesser cleat out of the firmament. Mine looks like this, for what it's worth...
ah the females should not distract you from the magnificent Sampson post. I love the anchor set-up on my boat. Folk have described it as built like a brick outhouse - in Oz-speak that means STRONG....for anchoring, strong is good...
