In the picture you can see part of the cockpit umbrella, and also a reel we use for the 180 meter stern line we carry. Many anchorages in BC and Alaska are like the Scandinavian Fjords, very steep and deep with big tidal range, so we anchor close to shore, stern in, and take a line ashore. I have mine very long so I take it around a tree and back to the boat so we can cast off without using the dinghy. The reel was made by Pro-Tech in North Vancouver, BC.
