And at 60 I am still able to do it.  In twenty years I may be looking for a windless.

Thanks for your input.  Thats rather impressive!  78lbs is not insignificant.

Guys : I always use the boat to break out the anchor and didn't install a windless until I hit 80.

Haven't gone up the mast for the past few years - only because I haven't needed to!

What is a "West Marine Anchor" ?
It's a '25lb West Marine Premium Anchor'  :santa I know.
It was on sale at West Marine for about $64 get it out of the store sale.

Turns out it's a pretty good anchor. We regularly anchor in a muddy bay (Sunrise Bay Fort Lauderdale Florida) and our old anchor often pulled out, this one has not let us drag once, yet!
