When a boat has two anchors and a drum winch, how does one deal with the rode of the second anchor? I am thinking of carrying extra chain for the 2nd anchor...

To use a hose hooked up to a fan can draw the shealing away from the weld if too close and reduce the quality of the weld more so if useing a wire welder. Jon...
I initial tried assymetrical , then went to symetrical on my boat in 1984. I noticed no noticable difference.Assymetrical ones may tend to stall when sailing...
The only relevant angles are the one between the sails and the keels, regardles of where they are relevant to the hull. If you want your leeward keel toed in ,...
If you are stowing it under the cabin sole, then a hawse pipe over it will enable you to use the halyard winch on it. Two drums on one axle would work too,...

Yes, but if you look at Russel Brown's famous proa "Jezzaro", it has asymetrical hulls to a visually staggering degree albeit it is a multihull. I would...
