>> I have seen wire rope reel winches used as anchor
>> windlasses but rarely.
the biggest fan of this method I know is Brent Swain who
has done a fair amt of tropical cruising. I think there is
a lengthy discussion of galvy wire anchor rode in the last
month or two of origamiboats discussion list (yahoogroups).
various techniques were mentioned for getting a decent
catenary -- sending a "messenger" weight down the rode iirc
was the consensus.
a perusal of origamiboats archive would probably yield lots
of info.
