Shawn,
An anchor locker on a 35 mk2 ?? My Mk2 has only a open rode locker
forward of the v-berths with a series of limber holes leading aft, no
floor , just the v of the hull at the bow. Two Danforths anchors (14 &
25 lb) are carried in the port cockpit locker, not at all convent for
cruising, but good for racing. There are plastic chocks to hold the 14
lb on the companionway cover for lunch and evening stops.

Lots of good info on this thread. I'm not too familiar with the 33-2,
but will share a bit of what was done (by the PO) on my 35-2 which
might be relevant if the water from the anchor locker is a problem (it
appears to be from higher up though). On the 35-2, the original anchor
locker appears to have had a "floor" above the hull. This was cut out
to allow the chain to fall all the way down. The new lower locker was
then glassed all the way around, and a drain pipe glassed in, with a
hose running through the vberth lockers and exiting into the bilge
just aft of the mast. This seems to have worked well at keeping the
water where it should be, as I've never had a drop of moisture under
the vberth (and the Lofrans Progress 1 windlass loves to rinse the
chain in heavy rain). The added benefit is that my 135' of chain is a
bit lower in the boat, and there is more freefall if I want to add
more chain (previously there was 200'). The original large access hole
was filled in and a ~12x12" door installed for checking on the chain &
rode.
