[C320-list] Rocna 15 Anchor Fit on Early C320s - Hull 268

[Cliff Lee]

After much consideration, I bit the bullet and bought a Rocna 15 to replace
my CQR.  I had seen past C320 list discussions about the likelihood that
the anchor roller bail would be too small for early C320 models and indeed
it is about 1" too short to fit the Rocna shank.  No problem to buy a
taller bail.  However, I was surprised to find that the anchor roller
itself is so short that the tip of the anchor in the secured position
overlaps and lies up against the bow by at least 3-4".  I had not seen that
issue on previous discussions.  I am wondering if I have an unusually short
anchor roller.  Mine is a Windline model and is about 20" from tip to tip,
with the roller hub itself about 3" from the tip of the assembly.  Any
thoughts out there about whether I need a longer anchor roller, the length
of your rollers (and your hull number), or other solutions?  At this point,
I'm afraid I may have to return the anchor.  Even if I can protect the hull
against the anchor tip, it will still bang against the hull and drive us
crazy.  Thanks for any guidance you can offer.
