Rocna or Vulcan anchor bow compatibility
The prod bowsprit for the Bavaria 38 does not leave much room for the anchor when in place, and can clash with the Rocna roll-bar. The thinking is that you wouldn't have the anchor fitted whilst sailing with the prod in place, as it is regarded as an item more suited to racing sailing.

The anchor shown in these photos is a Rocna 15 (33 lb).
We extended the anchor roller, that is the stainless steel extension, which is designed to help the anchor self launch, and it keeps the tip away from the bow when launching and retrieving.
