Honestly, this project never would have occurred to me on my former CD25. I'd love to hear your motivation for doing it. What is lacking in the CD25 design that led you to the idea of a bow sprit?

Maybe a anchor roller will work for you.

Plasteak.com is another choice, they are located in Ohio. I was very happy with the bow sprit they made for me.

An anchor roller is yet another project I've been thinking about! I ran across this photo of a nice set up on a CD 27 for sale. After looking at it again I notice there's no anchor locker, so not sure this would work on my boat with an anchor locker.
