Will a Delta stow easily on the standard Konsort bow-roller? That is one thing that has deterred me from replacing my CQR.

This remark appears in practically every thread asking for anchor advice, but sooner or later everyone who sails more than a few miles from base sometimes encounters winds stronger than they bargained for! Specially if you plan on anchoring overnight, but even daysailing in the Solent I've had to anchor and sit out a fierce line squall.... we really are not the sort of hard core sailors that sit out a big blow ...
Drifting my own thread..... I was trying to work out why my Konsort didn't have an outboard mount on the pushpit rail, finally I had a moment of clarity, its coz the Konsort has such a massive cockpit locker. It can go in there![]()

When I first replaced a CQR with a Delta, many years ago, it was disconcerting that the plate shank of the Delta slid from side to side on the roller, clanking on every tack. The bow roller was a smooth convex shape ideal for the mooring that we used at the time. Later I replaced the roller with one that had a central groove that held the shank, and the 8 mm chain, perfectly, preventing the clank. We still use the same type and I am about to have a couple of new ones turned from Delrin or something similar.
