CG,

"covered under warranty"; it depends:

A shadowy figure of few words walked up to Elton and me at the Miami Show.  Said he represented a Columbia farmer.  Handed us a wad of cash and told us to leave a Rhodes at the Tampa pier on a day certain.  A great customer.  Never had a single complaint.  That was more than 20 years ago and that boat is still under warranty.

When two scientist knocked on my door one night on Long Island and told me in spurts of understandable English they needed me to come to the USSR to show them how to build sailboats, the first stop after leaving the Moscow airport was a cemetery. I explained I was to be the first American allowed into their space facilities, not the first to grace their celebrity grave yard.  Showing me Khrushchev's sculpture stone, I was told that being allowed in this particular hallowed real estate was considered an honor.  When word got out I went to Purdue, they waned to shake my hand; wow I went to the school that put the first man on the moon. I explained I had absolutely nothing to do with that since he had not gotten their by a Rhodes, I just wanted out of their cemetery.

The one thing I did come away with:  While they did not think much about our cars, they fall apart after a few years, they thought we made the best sailboats in the world, they last forever.  If any of that propaganda extends to the Med and you get tired of retiring, we need a partner to handle that part of the world (and all the rest). Roger Mac Gregor (who knew when to retire) told me 30% of his sales were export and so far we are 99.9998% behind reaching his balance. I did not want to forget the one that went to Lima.

Ah Ha,
         Looks like a clever install.  Thanks Chris this should help me in
my Quest.    Hey Stan, I guess this isn't covered under warranty?   Yes
I've been looking at a lot of small sailboats here in the marina (1,000 +
slips and 50% are sailboats).  And have a couple of Ideas too.  Well we
shall see.  Right now the Rocna is lashed to the bow pulpit, it works but
isn't very elegant or neat.

Chris G:  I think you may have asked about installing an anchor roller on
the
bow.  Frank Tugwell installed one that allowed the anchor and rhode to
deploy from the anchor shelf without inter fearing with the forward stay
and
roller furling.  Except for becoming a ramming device I think this is a
clever idea.  I will try to insert an image for reference.
