before I start I am still
learning boat terminology so if I get it
work feel free to correct me
I have a 73'
catalina 27 and there is no proper chain/rode locker. if I were to use where it is currently stored in the bow of the v birth where the port/starboard light access is, it will drain into the v birth. the previous owner never anchored out once
so I was thinking about making a bow sprit/ pulpit with an integrated chain locker. out of powdercoated
aluminum (boat lives on a lake and sees
salt once a year)
the locker would be through bolted to the bow/ foredeck area of the
boat with a pulpit for a
rocna style
anchor leading out from that with new
safety rail
I have been looking but cannot find any sailboats of any size that have done somthing like this. just looking for thoughts and opinions
