This is a Lewmar anchor roller from West Marine for about $160. I think it will work great mounted as far forward on the bow as possible. You could also build a bow pulpit, but I decided I didn't need one and had enough to do. I haven't used it yet, but the concept is that you pull the pin that holds the chain... the anchor goes down. When you hoist it back up, you pull it tight and replace the pin. I think it will help for anchoring by myself, as my crew will often consist of my wife and son. At 3 years old, it'll be awhile till he starts pulling his weight on deck.
