Default RE: question on anchoring

I always liked those fold down seats!

They seem to always come in handy for taking a nap, making out with chicks or whatever.....

Default RE: question on anchoring

How about this, put an eye/roller on the front. Run the rope from the front seat through the eye/roller, through a "ring" then tie on the anchor. To the ring, tie a short piece of rope, 15' or so. Put the anchor in the boat. Drop the anchor from your seat with enough slack in the ring rope so that it does not come taut. Feed the anchor line out then tie off the anchor rope to your cleat at appropriate depth.



When ready to pull anchor, pull it up to within 10' or so of the boat and tie it off. Pull the ring rope up, catching the anchor, then pull the anchor up, all from your seat.



Does that make sense? Rope from cockpit through the pulley, back to the cockpit, through the ring then tied to the anchor. Tie off ring rope, drop anchor. Pull anchor up almost to the boat then pull it in with the ring rope. Might work.
