I use 2 people to pull chain. One to run windless, one to mind the chain. All my chain goes fwd of the V berth. I use a traffic cone to help wrap the chain. Caution: If not properly stowed chain can pile in a heap. While underway it can fall onto the leading chain then block it from pulling out. A real problem when trying to anchor. I once had to back out of an anchorage and unload 50 ft of chain into the berth. What a mess.
