Thanks, Mark. Please keep me posted on whether you have to move your anchor holder to install your roller furling: I'm considering the roller-furling addition this spring, also. --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roberta & Mark Dvorscak" <edarts@rosenet.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 1:19 AM Subject: Anchoring On our M17 we have been carrying my Danforth anchor in a holder that mounts on the bow pulpit (West Marine model # 122846 $26.99 catalog pg 679) with the chain and rode in a nylon mesh bag that secured with small line to the pulpit also. I may have to modify or abandon that arrangement when I convert to roller furling next week! I also carry a Fortress anchor/rode combination in the port cockpit locker. It is quite convenient to drop the anchor from the stern and then walk the rode forward to the bow once the sails are doused, etc. Mark Dvorscak M17 #400 GRACE _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
