Perhaps a section of the keel might be lowered,subject to proper design,so that no access to the foredeck is necessary to set the anchor.
All the weight of the gear would be central in the vessel when underway,not so when deployed.
There might be a tendency to weathercock,although if the deployment was from the forward end of the keel this might reduce.
The use of weighted cable on a drum might work better than chain but twist would always be a factor
The Anchor itself would have to fit snugly when retrieved.
Slippy plastics as a guide perhaps.
Might reduce tendency to snatch due to being nearer centre of weight distribution of vessel.
Hauling gear might need to be beefier.
Effect on motion of boat when anchored?
Just having a think!
