anchor . What attaches to the anchor, rope or chain, then rope,where is the anchor rope/ chain stored?
Also what type of cleats do the rudder lift and lower ropes attach to.
Thanks for looking guys.




John,

Neil:

these ones for the cleats,  john but to be honest I don't think they were stored on dek…..there were roap bins in the aft and fore cockpits...BUT.……...the way I had to design the kits so that the cockpits lifted out, I couldn't put them in to the boat, as the rope bins were under the decks on the side of the hull.


when I later designed the Watson 46' and the Barnett 51' boats I made the cockpits permanent with lift out floors so that the side storage under decks was a part pf the design, and the rope storage bins went in.

look forward to seeing it...…….looks like my two Watson's are finding a new home after all these years...……….I'll be sad to see them go, but they'll be looked after by the new owner.
