Stoomy,
I really like the Bayfield 36, but I believe that you'll find the Tartan to be much faster and responsive, but the Bayfield does have nice traditional lines. As far as the anchor locker is concerned, the locker itself is quite large, I divided mine in two for a primary and secondary anchor. I had an existing hause pipe and one roller and I installed a second roller and an electric windlass (love it!). What Practical Sailor was referring to was the lack of a deck-accessible anchor hatch that you open from above to expose the anchor rode etc.... I personally do not like that set up and prefer the neat arrangement that I have on Tortuga's Lie. [img]
