    Hi gents -
     
    No sense in re-inventing the wheel. The French figured this out years ago.
    Find an Amel Super Maramu (ketch-rigged 53' sailboat - white with brown
    plastic teak) at your favorite marina, buy the owner a beer and ask for a demo.
     
    Regards,

    > I'm trying to figure out a way to add a shower for the anchor chain that
    would direct a spray of water more or less at the roller on the anchor
    platform so I wouldn't have to hold a hose nozzle while bringing in the
    chain. That would let me concentrate on getting the anchor to fall into
    the chain locker without creating a hockle, etc. The salt water washdown
    system is already in place; I'd just need to connect the outlet via a
    flexible/removable hose to the "shower head" before turning on the pump.
    I'm thinking that PVC would work and could be easily replaced if broken.

    Have any of you fabricated a unit that works well for you? How did you
    fasten it so it stays aimed at the right spot?

    **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape.
