This ugly duckling is out in the bay today and now anchored. She doesn't look any less ugly under-way. I wonder was it the exorbitant marina fees that prompted her to go to anchor.
She has a very noticeable scrape on the bow just above the waterline - it looks like the anchor chain may have been dragged across the bow.

Hawse pipes don't work very well when your boat's a funny shape; it needs a telescopic bow roller.
