1975 Revenge 19: Anchor Without Going Onto Foredeck; Ride Characteristics

[aqua750]

Hello guys--I have just gotten a 1975 REVENGE. I only have one working leg so I'm thinking it probably would not be a good idea to crawl through the windshield onto the bow to anchor.

How can anchoring be safely done without the obvious bow winch?

Any help would be great. Thank you

To anchor without having to go out onto the foredeck of a REVENGE boat, I would keep the anchor in the cockpit.

hello jim thank you for your reply that sounds pretty good would you fix some kind of a pulley to the bow cleat to make the rode slip freely in both directions thanks for your help and suggestions .also If you could fill me in on the seaworthiness of a revenge and what I should expect thanks jerry

How seaworthy is an early REVENGE 19 boat?

Are they good in a chop?

Are they a wet boat?

How about a following sea?

Any info on your Revenge 19 experiences or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

The hull form is relatively flat bottom and the ride can be rough into headseas. They throw spray away from the cockpit effectively thanks to the chine lines. They go downwind like a surfboard.
