Re your earlier comment about books, I know for a fact that the Downtown
Seattle Library has everyone of Bolger's Design books including a
precursor to Small Boats that I didn't even know existed. You could
probably get them on interlibrary loan.

The thickness will deppend on how long they leave it
in the pot to heat up. The hotter the part is the less
zink will be on the part being galvanised. But with
that said it's about 1/100 of an inch most times and a
lot of times less.
There are a lot of galvanised anchors out there that
are 20 to 60 years old and still doing the job they
were intended to do. So I don't think you have to
worry at that end of things. I would worry about the
welds and useing the right welding rod for the job.

I was looking at the Folding Schooner last night, and it has a plan for
a fisherman's anchor, but welded. Seems like a good weight for one of
my boats, and a fairly easy welding project. Has anyone else built
one? Has anyone any experience getting galvanizing done. Is it
expensive, and how much thickness does it tend to add to the parts.
The stock fits through the eye, and I was wondering how much thickness
to allow for the galvanizing.
Stainless has shot up locally and I'm not sure 304 stainless would be
worth it anyway, I'm mostly a fresh water guy, but I hate to build
something that would disappear in salt.
