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.
When I noticed that the Lewmar V-1 windlass was being discontinued and the discounted price was as low as $420 for a new windlass, I decided it was time to pry open my wallet. |
