Anchor/windlass, Broom 37 continental

[galathea]

I want to fit an electric windlass and a suitable bow roller for an 18kg plough anchor on my 1972 Broom 37 continental. Has anyone any suggestions as to the best way to go?

Someone over at the Broom Owners Club will have done it.

Or call Broom themselves, they are always very helpful.

Thanks, Mersey, I'll do that.

Hi Galathea - interesting as that's what we called our 1972 continental we use for our business in Shetland. We fitted a Lofrans windlass on 25mm marine ply above and below the deck and foot switches above the chain locker. A local firm made up a suitable bow roller as I couldn't find anything suitable on the market (cost £480 in stainless), with a wide mounting plate. I think I've got some pictures I could send if you like. I also want to extend my exhausts, but am not at home right now - I am trying to find out the angle of the transom at the exhausts so that I can make up extensions pointing straight aft. If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.
