My Ericson 33 was used primarily for racing and for that purpose I have only a marginal size danforth with some rope stowed in a small anchor locker in the bow with no roller . Strictly emergency use or maybe for a lunch hook .
Since acquiring the boat over two years ago , I have not done any overnight trips , but I’ve been thinking about it. I think I should at least add some chain , but I’m wondering if there is any way to make hauling the anchor in/out easier without damaging the boat ? I’m not looking to making any permanent modifications at this stage , but maybe I can find some kind of detachable roller or perhaps putting a length of hose on the lifelines (?) .
