[Public-List] Length of anchor roller

[J Bergquist]

Gord-

How long are the studs? And was the roller an off-the-shelf part or did you
modify one? It looks very short compared to what I have seen available...

On the subject of your folkboat, I hope that you will write an article on
that. I would love to read it. Maybe since WoodenBoat is supporting you in
the restoration, that would be a good forum for publishing?

Best of luck with that project. I will definitely be watching for updates!

Take care,

J Bergquist
