Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor now Locker

[James Bibb via CnC-List]

Jean-Francois!   Thank you.  Yes a photo would be fine and if you have time, 
how does it drain and to where and a photo of the deck.  I may simply be 
placing a deck plate as I have no current plans to make place for a windlass.  
I have the current anchor stored in a plastic tub and hauling that back and 
forth to keep the foredeck clear is a current dilemma.  Also...would like to 
have that anchor ready to deploy instead of the thought of having to go below 
and wrestle the whole kit while in duress.  The cockpit on the 34R has no 
lazarette storage space for a stern deployment so...trying to carve out a 
storage solution that goes in-line with C practice.  

I also would like to hear from those few with the Racing series that sees 
weight permanently that far forward an issue. 

Thanks and I am in absolute bliss with this C 34/36R.  Very proud.

Stus-List Danforth Anchor now Locker

[Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List]

Hi James, 

The 34+/36 XL's have an anchor locker built' in from the factory. I can 
take a picture of mine if you want to see how it's done on the racer / 
cruiser version of your boat.

 Sand bottom with no weeds, chain and a long rode. I learned the hard way 
 and I couldn't sleep on the hook until I bought a better anchor (on a

 third anchor.

Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor

[Gary Kolc via CnC-List]

Well I returned the cut down anchor back and found another one at a consignment 
store in Newport. This was a HD 20 Danforth with the stickers still on it never 
been used $100. I do not have a locker we hang it from the bow pulpit. I do not 
mind that the stock is full size.  We keep the bottom conditions in mind when 
anchoring and have never had a problem with a Danforth. I am aware of its 
limitations but as I have no windless I cannot get anything real heavy.

Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor

[Jim Watts via CnC-List]

Danforths are hampered by any growth on the bottom since it interferes with
the anchor's initial set. They are also hampered by shells and rocks that
can get jammed in the flukes and prevent a reset in the event of wind or
tide shift.
Those are real Danforths. Fake Danforths are generally pretty useless
altogether since they frequently do not have the right geometry and are
welded together by guesswork.

A little surprised by the comment.  What limitations are you referring to? 
Danforth may not be the sexiest anchor but they are versatile.  Biggest 
obstacle to them is grass I've found.

Stus-List Danforth Anchor

[Mitchell's via CnC-List]

Gary, You probably already know this but the Danforth has some pretty serious 
limitations. I think you would be OK holding your dinghy with a 20 pounder, if 
it's not windy! 
Sand bottom with no weeds, chain and a long rode. I learned the hard way and I 
couldn't sleep on the hook until I bought a better anchor (on a previous boat).

Re: Stus-List Danforth Anchor mod

[Chuck S via CnC-List]

Gary, 
FWIW, I keep a smaller danforth anchor in my inflatable air deck dinghy. I cut 
that bar mayself across the head of the anchor and added clear reinforced hose 
over the bar ends. The hose extends past the ends to prevent the bar from 
holing the dinghy. I believe the bar simply helps to orient the blades to dig 
in and the blades do all the holding. Works fine for me.
