Looking for used parts to complete single-handed design and construction of schooner, location Wisconsin, heading to Roatan carrying aid and volunteers. Started 30 years ago with no money, 15 tons of steel plate and a Hobart cracker box. Finally seeing light at end of tunnel, or is that weld flash.
Parts needed-
Bow thruster at least 280 lbs thrust, electric
Anchor windlass for 3/8" chain electric
Diesel generator 7~10 Kw
Electric winch for halyards.
Reverse osmosis water maker.
1/2" line for sheets and halyards.
60~80 lbs anchor

2. Danforth hinged plow
Neither one has ever been wet.
Both located in Ft. Pierce, Florida.
If interested please send me a pm.
Protect your eyes from the flash!

Don't know, will look later this morning in warehouse and send you some pictures. I can say that both have heavy coating of galvanizing on them.

as primary anchors for that sized boat you should be using 90lb anchors and a min 250 ft of 1/2" chain.

14mm or 5/8" would also be recommended for halyards,and 16mm for sheets.

we are 63 ft and 26 tons and get away with 10mm chain with 2x 95lb bugel anchors, as kedge anchors I have a 45lb cqr,and 55lb Breton type danforth.

not worth the risk of using under sized ground tackle imho.

Deogratis,
Looks like both are non high tensile. Have included pictures of the plow (asking$450.00)but I'm still working on getting the standard and forth out of its current location. Will include pictures shortly.

Hi,
Interested in just two of your haws. What are the opening dimensions?
Thanks,

3/8 Stayset x parallel core, 5300lbs breaking strength. If you are doing a multipurchase halyard for your junk it should be plenty strong. And def. for junk sheets. They don't get loaded up at all. White with red flecks. Lots . Buy more than 500, 55 cents a foot. Else 65.

3/8" chain it too small. You are better of to go too heavy. The anchoring system is also a safety device that should be able to stop or hold in any conditions. Use a winch that works with chain stored in a chain locker below the water line. Not a winch that reels the chain on deck like some commercial boats do.

Thanks everyone for your input.
