One of the pre-departure jobs was to finally fit the Lofrans Royal manual windlass we got at a bargain price last year. Many thanks once again to Darren Taylor of Mainsail Marine for his help with this. The job involved cutting the anchor locker lid and using the aft section to effectively extend the deck and mount the windlass. The tricky bit was leaving the forward (opening) part big enough to be able to stow the 9Kg Knox anchor inside the locker on passage.
