Thanks Stu, I have read a lot of Steve's content on the forum including the bit you copied here. I don't know what he does for a living but he's a great writer. Humorous, interesting, and informative.

A long project, but now complete except for adding a bale to the bow roller. I'm posting in case anyone with a MK 1 is considering adding a windlass and looking for ideas. Most folks on this forum installed a vertical windlass inside the locker. I chose an on deck mounted horizontal for various reasons. Detailed write up in the Tech WIKI with photos.
