Vertical Windlass Installation Guide

By Rick Johnson Godspeed #1110 1990


After 4 years of assigning unsuspecting newbie crew members the task of hauling up the anchor, I was beginning to run out of victims. Since the captain of S/V Godspeed (1990 Catalina 34 #1110) is just over a ½ century in age and with a 35lbs CQR anchor, I decide that installing a windlass might be a valuable improvement.
