Linus asked me about my chain locker & foredeck rebuild, so I thought I’d share some photos of it with the
group. Sorry, I haven’t learned how to post this kind of thing on the 424 web site, or if these would even
belong there.

The attached photos should answer some questions about that project (and could probably generate others). It
turned out that, because I positioned the vertical windlass to pull from the center of the deck to service
both anchors, neither anchor roller chute was lined up properly when the installation was completed. I’m now
changing their angle to slightly-pigeon-toed so the rodes lead fair to the windlass. Also not shown is the
2-piece, removable chain locker divider (I can take a photo of that if anyone wants one), but you can see the
2×4 slot-holders for it in one or two of these photos. With the divider (and the rodes) removed I can squeeze
into the chain locker through the forepeak bulkhead hatch, enough to reach much of the stuff in there for
servicing.
