[Sentoa] Divided chain locker

[camrpm163 at aol.com]

 Bryan,
Can't help with the anchor but,had a similar leak though and the leak was coming from the pilot house center window. My boat is much older and has a different? brand of windows but, it just might be from the windows. Keep an eye open for a stain on the bulkhead walls that will indicate where the leak is coming from.Good luck.

Greetings!

Linda and I finally have arrived home with Sarayu, after a mostly-bouncy
week long trip from Annapolis.  Sarayu got a good shake-down.  We've
discovered at least one leak that appears from a strip of teak corner
molding above the head sink and eventually drips on to the toilet paper
roll.  Fortunately, it's easy enough to stop before the TP is moistened, but
the challenge will be to discover the source and plug it.

Sarayu came with a polished stainless claw anchor.  Very pretty, and we
confirmed that it will function as an anchor and not just as a bow ornament,
but I'm concerned that the "claw" isn't the preferred anchor in the thin mud
that seems to be everywhere around these parts.  For our trip, I carried a
spare Fortress FX-23 and a rode bag with about 200 feet of half-inch nylon.
Both lived in the lazarette, and fortunately were not needed, as they don't
easily go into or out of that locker.

I'd prefer to have a second anchor forward, ready to deploy if the primary
won't set.  Perko makes a nice set of deck chocks for a Fortress or Danforth
fluke anchor, which I think I can mount without too much difficulty.  I've
peeked into the anchor locker, and it appears sufficiently large enough to
divide into two for separate rodes.  Has anyone done this?  Can you share
your experiences/give advice?  TIA.
