1995 Explorer Anchor Handling

[jpendejo]

My Explorer does not have a pupit or windlass, just old fashioned anchor locker and a beautiful orange anchor ball. I just put in a new 600' anchor line and 20' of chain. What does everyone use to make it a little easier on the retrieval? I have a Danforth anchor.

Have you used an anchor ball before?

I rarely anchor, but when we do I use one of these (not necessarily this brand):

Works pretty good.
