[Destroyer]

Awthacker, two things you need to do/learn. First, put a lanyard on that anchor pin. Destroyer's First Rule of boating clearly states: If it can fall over the side, it will. (I highly recommend using Berkeley black vinyl covered wire leader. It lasts for years, doesn't rust, looks neat and is a cinch to make up). Second, learn how to make an eye splice on the bitter end of your line. Attach the anchor shackle thru the eye. It makes for a much neater appearance and goes thru the hawse pipe a lot easier. Other than that, really well done job.
