Kenwood Boat Anchors

After a few years of collecting various and sundry Kenwood rigs, there is enough equipment to make a list of the Kenwood boat anchors in my collection. This page is dedicated to documenting efforts to restore these rigs.

So, this first post will be to list an inventory of the Kenwood rigs.
