Two chains on a single capstan
Article Abstract:
Experienced cruisers know that when anchoring around, the reefs and atolls they must rely only on an all-chain anchoring system, are one with two anchors and two chains. For boats with a vertical-capstan windlass with just one chain wildcat and one navel pipe, a single windlass that can accommodate two working anchor rodes is the perfect answer.
