I've reinforced the foredeck with a triangular section of ply glassed under the deck and I'm going to distribute the load of the anchor roller by mounting it to a section of Starboard on top of the deck (not shown in the pics below).
I'm wondering what's the best configuration for the locking pin for the anchor chain and the cleat (cleat before the pin or vice versa?). And is it best to place them all on the centerline or should the cleat go laterally on the surface above the anchor locker?
I'd appreciate any input.
