We are upgrading our whole anchor set up, starting with a stainless steel anchor from Ultra Products and then adding 100m of stainless steel chain from Cromox. To lift all that, we'll need a reliable windlass so we have increased the size of our windlass motor, switched out the gypsey to match the chain and even added a chain counter (thanks AR Peachment) to keep track of our scope.
We live full time on our catamaran, and it's crucial that we can rely on safe equipment - we need enough chain to manage in deep anchorages, and an anchor that will hold our boat in storms and wind shifts. We don't usually use an anchor swivel but with this upgrade, we're adding the flip swivel from Ultra so we'll be testing out their whole system.
