That open anchor hatch isn't the best design it's a parachute for when cruising the wind would suck right in there a hatch door would not only look better but keep your anchor and rope alot cleaner and wouldn't get all caked up with salt, the rest of the boat is beautiful but that's a terrible design and flaw even walking through the front to a beach you have to step over or around it when you could walk straight down, hopefully they can install a hatch there that would be one of the first things I would do. All your equipment in there would be exposed to the sun , not good for rope.
