Many thanks for the various responses. The main anchor ordered is a genuine rocna 40kg with 200 ft of 3/8 chain I don't think that weight up front will be too much of a concern. The builder had a photograph of 42 people on the boat, 22 at the bow and the bottom paint was still showing at the waterline. We will stick with the one windlass initially and have a back up fortress (or similar) on chain and rode. If problems occur, will get a second windlass later. Rocna recommend (unsuprisingly) a smaller version of the same as a back up. I'm wondering which type of #2 will best cover the bases when a rocna may have holding issues? regards Jonah. www.jonah-art.com

Launch date April 21 Its a 48 but will have the sky lounge opened up and canvas used in lieu of fibreglass. So will look/feel rather different to hull #1 Photos of construction will be posted on link below in mid Jan.
