Re: More on flopper stoppers

That works fine but many including me prefer the 2nd anchor deployed at the stern quarter. Reason is that it is easier to deploy imho (though that's a matter of opinion);
doesn't need tweaking and adjusting to get the boat's angle right; nor des it need adjusting everytime the wind shifts a bit. The second anchor is therefore much more a "fit it and forget it" solution. You get the boat at the correct angle, every time, within about 5 mins

With stern winches the second anchor is dead easy to retrieve. Wouldn't be if there were no stern winches, I agree.
