[C320-list] Anchor Windless (maybe replace)

[Scott Westwood]

Not high on my list but looking into replacing my "working" windlass with one that can take a chain. Getting older.  My "original" windlass has a "smooth" capstan and I never use it anyway.  I can still haul it myself.  Most upper body workout I typically get on long cruises.  I remember previous threads that mentioned that they no longer make a replacement Capstan and I would have to replace the whole windlass????  Anybody done that recently?  Budgeting/estimated/rough cost?
Please don't look up anything.  May never do this.  Just looking for previous experiences out there.




Thanks,
