I need to install a windlass on my recently purchased Mainship 34 Mk 3. I'm planning to install the windlass aft on the pulpit, just forward of a pulpit mounted Sampson Post. I will single or, light-hand cruise a lot so need the anchor control for safety. Are there Mainship 34 owners out there who have and/or installed windlass's? Are there recommendations of favorite brands and configurations ? Are there opinions on controlled or drop release? And, of course, advice or thoughts on installation (reinforcement of the deck and pulpit). All thoughts would be appreciated. Richard (Apollo Beach, FL)
