The Swan Point 19 is a great boat, but a small update makes accessing the anchor much easier. We added a hatch opening to the foredeck and added a mahogany bracket to hold the anchor.
When I cut the opening for the hatch opening, it was obvious the fiberglass had de-laminated from the plywood in the foredeck. I injected epoxy into the gap and clamped it to repair this.
Then I modified the design of the anchor bracket that gets glued to the underside of the foredeck to add a stiffener. The hatch opening is a pretty big hole. So the frame of the anchor bracket will add stiffness to the foredeck.
Finally, after the mahogany bracket was coated with 3 layers of epoxy for waterproofing, it was glued in and the hatch opening was sealed in place. Voila!
