Hardly an exhaustive list but all the sail boats I have been on whether owned, school or charter the anchor ball is in a cockpit locker (normally under or tangled up with something.)
I was watching a program on Super yachts and one of the deck crew went down in to the anchor locker (or is that room) and I noticed tied to the inside of the hatch was the anchor ball.
Seemed like a good idea and I have moved mine to the anchor locker so I will be able to grab it easily and it will act as a reminder to put it up when anchoring (my memory is not as good as it used to be.)
Seems like a win win to me, so why doesn’t everyone put their anchor ball in there?
