My main anchor has a poerdriven winch - all OK. I have been given two new unused anchors from a friend who no longer has a boat and wish to use these as the extra anchors when conditions warrant it.
I understand the different configurations of using two or three anchors but do not understand how you physically cope with them. Soi far my plan is to purchase a rope/chain into bucket kit that at least makes the stowage of the rope/chain easier but how do you go about hauling 50 plus yards of anchor back in? What would be the best way of going about this. Do you have a some sort of temporary manual winch ... or is it always just the simple hard slog of pulling in each yard by hand?
Any advice gratefully recieved.
