Anchor Platform

Thera:
Can some one provide proximate dimensions to build an anchor platform for Pearson 323?

Dolce_Vita:
Welcome to the P323 Owners Forum!

The P-323 came standard with a bowsprit/anchor-platform.  Your's doesn't have one?
I'm sure one of us here could take pictures & measurements.  It's a large-diameter
U-shaped SS tube, attached to the hull with flanges at the ends, and with a single
SS bolt on the stem fitting.  A small flat cross-piece of SS bar supports two teak
boards that form the surface of the platform.  An SS anchor roller is welded
onto the starboard side.

By the way, are you the new owner of the "Thera" that was for sale in
Boston (Hull #PEA58106M78B)?

Thera:
Pictures are already on the owners web. I need dimensions to build one.

and, Yes I am the Thera new owner. Thera is moving to TX.

Libations Too:
For what it's worth if I were to start from scratch I would add one or two rod supports/braces running from the platform to a fitting on the stem just above water line. My boat has a platform and seems to work just fine. But I do worry about it when using the engine to break out an anchor with the rode running over the roller. Has anyone sustained damage to their platform structure when breaking out an anchor?

Thera:
I decided not to start from scratch, but for something already available and modify accordingly.

The part has already two supports/braces from the platform to a fitting on the stern and I will use following your recommendation.
I will build the fitting on the stern, add angles on the front and rear on the current arc to support the teak platform, and add a roller for the anchor.

Do you recommend one or two rollers for anchoring?
