<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>stem fitting/bow roller, AND an AR-2, and plan to mount both, so I can hang two anchors off the bow.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Randall:

I prefer to keep my anchor securely stored with the rode in the bow locker when not in use. Remember that the AR-2 (and all the AR series rollers) is a roller-only for raising/lowering, and it's not designed as an anchor mount.

To get true mounting capability, I understand you need one of the URM or BRM series rollers (but quite a bit more $).

I don't know about the Catalina Direct stem fitting/bow roller's designed anchor mounting specs...true mounts seem quite a bit longer.

I emptied out my boat last weekend, and found that I had indeed purchased a URM-2, not an AR-2. Then I started wondering where I'll stash two anchor rodes at the bow, especially since my anchor locker doesn't even have the molded opening for ONE rode to feed out of it.

Has anyone mounted an anchor off the stern? I sail solo most of the time, so it would be great to be able to "put on the brakes" in an emergency without leaving the cockpit.

Randall... I think a lunch hook astern is a fine idea. In fact, I've anchored that way just to position the cockpit toward a nice view. However, in some serious seas, you want the bow facing into the waves. Also, if you anchor off the stern, you need to be very careful about how you retrieve the anchor under power.
