Ran across this idea and thought it a great sailFar-style, KISS solution for using a pawl to haul anchor without needing a windlass. It's not the concept of using a pawl or a chain-stopper, but how it has been integrated. This would be a pretty easy retrofit/mod:

You make me feel embarrassed CapnK.... on the website of 'my boat' ::)
just goes to show it was a while since I last visited, despite I've got a link to it on my blog :o ;D
It's a nice set-up nevertheless
Geez, Magnus, the last thing you should feel is bad, lol - I'd rather be out cruising water like you, than cruising websites still looking fer the bits and pieces to do so... ;D
