I have a 39 Californian with 320' of chain. Problem is the chain locker is under the V Birth about 5' aft of the windlass. currently the chain drops straight down to the inside of the forepeak and travels down a ramp into the chain locker. As u can imagine this chain moving down a slope is not nearly as efficient as a straight drop into a chain locker. Consequently I have to have someone crawl under the Vbirth mattress and open the chain locker to pull on the chain as it is fed down the forepeak to avoid backing up. This is a real PIA !! Obviously dropping chain straight down from the deck thru the center of the V birth is not an ideal solution. Anyone out there with a similar problem and setup they have worked thru ?
Thanks !!!!
