I meant that with your capability with the sewingmachine you could make one for yourself at a low cost.
By the way, how is the work on the hard dodger? I am very interested in how your "voyager" is turning out.

Thanks for the link tip rorik.My dodger/doghouse, sprayhood is still on the "try to solve base", not that easy, but working on it! I have rebuilt my interior a bit, a new mast support, a tried differnt cart table solutions... I need a new stove/cooker. I'll go for the Origo 1500. tomorow morning ( real earley ) I go and collect my new anchor....? it's a royal loftans manuell. I feel I've spent some money on gear...but it's nessecery-I think-?!

I solved the installation problem...

[s/v necessity]

Well what sort of backing did you decide upon?  I have the same windlass, I just figured I would use some beefy big washers on the backside...

Hi. Im going to place it on a Teakbed/board above deck, and a bigger underneath deck, and blot it togehter. this will be strong enough I guess. Will also get a "running-trough" for the chain, down to the keel floor-going to make a box-And on deck i while at sea, the chain "hole" will be closed completley... (can't seem to find the right enlish word sometimes ) hope you got what I meant.. Have you any pic's of your installation?

I think the term you want is "deck pipe"

[rorik]

If you want a nice solid bronze deck pipe, check out:
 www.spartanmarine.com
I bought one for Mathilda last week.... $98 plus shipping. The stemhead and bobstay fittings in the picture below are the original items on the Cape Dory 28. The deck pipe is in the same picture.

Prices on their website are correct, even if they do say 2010......

How easey I can be sometimes "Deck pipe" and Yes This is what I meant. can't seem to find it in Sweden ! thanks for link rorik.
Cold in sweden -10 below zero

Meh, I was liking "chain hole"   If you get really concerned about not knowning something in english, just insert the word "Thingamabob" after the term you are uncertain about, that makes it official.  As in "the chain hole thingamabob".  Atleast here in the midwest it works
