I’m the new owner of a 2024 C-Dory 25 Cruiser, having just moved to the “dark side” after selling my Catalina 36.
I chose a Fortress 11 as my stern anchor since anchorages in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands ( my cruising area on the Catalina) are rather tight in Santa Cruz so it’s customary to set a stern anchor to limit swing.
I had plenty of locker space on the Catalina and had the anchor on the rail and chain and rode on a stern locker.
That’s not going to be possible on the C-Dory so I was planning on a milk crater or other such crate to hold the chain/rode. I’m installing stern rails so I could keep the Fortress there.
Any better suggestions from the group.
I haven’t totally gone to the dark side, I still am keeping my ComPac16 sailer that I bought new in 1982.
