Form over function and looks over safety. You know a windlass,anchor, and a pulpit are ugly on a beautiful SF and how often do SF ever anchor. Most of them never anchor, and the owners that do 2 out of 10 order the boat with a pulpit, anchor and windlass on the bow. So you get the floating anchor and 6' of chain so someone can lift it over the bow by hand without gouging the paint. You stick the polyball and clip on the rode and then run foward on it, anchor floats to the surface, mate pulls all of the rode, anchor, and polyball in by hand. LOLOLOL Funny but true.
