Tom -
	I for one would like any information/photos of a bow roller that
would fit an A-30 and handle a 20/25 lb. plow anchor.  The previous owner of
my boat had built a wooden roller out of 1" pine and a keel roller that fit
around the headstay.  It was similar to the design by Bob Marshall available
on the Chesapeake Bay Alberg site but was fastened to the boat by only one
bolt attached to the stemhead fitting.  It moved so much in a seaway that I
didn't think it safe so I took it off.  Has anyone had any experience with
the wooden roller platform designed by Marshall???  Does it really work?
I've thought of modifying it by extending it back over the deck so it could
be through bolted with a large backing plate to help take the load.  Any
thoughts would be appreciated.
