[C320-list] Politics, Religion and Anchors

[Rod Boer]

Hi Jon,

I have the FX 16 as a backup anchor which is stored in the anchor locker.  I 
added a couple of pieces of tubing to extend the bar on the anchor which 
enabled it to hang in the pre-molded in slots.  Joe's C320 is in the same 
series as mine at #688.  Hope this helps.

Rod
