I have a new to me 60’ and 80,000lb gross displacement trawler that I intend to cruise Desolation Sound and the Broughtons in British Columbia with.
I was looking at the adequacy of the gear it came with for that area, and whether more modern anchor designs would be preferred. I’m willing to invest here as I want piece of mind holding plusneasy to deploy and retrieve.
The existing windlass needs service but it is a Lofrans Falcon 12V 1500W
The two anchors carried in the bow are for the Port bowsprit. 60 lb CQR with. 100’ 3/8th” chain and 250’ nylon rode. The starboard is a 30kg Bruce anchor and 400’ of 3/8” chain.
I’ve seen more modern anchor designs like the Ultra etc.
What are recommendations for a good combination for these areas? And chain to carry.
I’ve looked at many of the threads here.
