[C38] advice. Manual windlass?

[Don Strong]

Damas y Caballeros.
We are just back from a sailing adventure in Baja (more on that when I 
have finished a blog about it). The boat anchored next to us in 
Bollandra cove on Isla Carmen had a manual windlass with which the tiny, 
aged woman singlehander raised miles of chain. Today's question for you. 
Anyone install a manual windlass on a C38? I'm simply not into the 
electricity for a powered windlass even though we have the batteries.  
As the years pass, I am facing the specter of needing a windlass.
Thanks, Don
