[C320-list] Danforth anchor in anchor locker

[Warren Updike]

After my original Danforth shank was bent during a tow, I replaced it with a
slightly larger Danforth.  Sorry, I can't tell you the specs; but, like
yours, it fits in the locker with the shank at a slight angle.  Unlike
yours, my cover will close.  This anchor was a gift and I haven't noticed
any markings on it.  However, at next opportunity I will check.  The captain
should know what anchor he/she is using.

Hello,

Simple question. I'm installing the Danforth anchor in the anchor locker as
my secondary ground tackle this year but the Danforth that came with the
boat does not fit in the locker. The shank will fit (if placed on a slight
angle), the stock width fits in the molded grove; however the crown prevents
the locker door from closing. I'm guessing the next size down will fit or is
this a brand/manufacturer issue. I'd like to know what you are using. 
I've also just completed the anchor locker divider as detailed on the
website. I'm very happy with the more organized locker.


Thank you,
