I'd consider a windlass but would still like to restore things to how they were/should be. If it's still inconvenient a windlass may be the answer. It is one more item to maintain though. Another thing to break or go wrong. The anchor on there now has an all rope rode (no chain) which might make things easier on a windlass as well. I think you still need to go up there to mechanically secure things though. The windlass should only be used for raising or lowering the anchor right?
