My TR has 2 rollers on the front of the bowsprit. I run my anchor line over one roller and secure it with the lock pin. Is yours different? Don, #6293, Niceville, FL

To: [email protected] Date: Monday, February 22, 2010, 8:11 AM The recent posts on cleating the bow anchor brought up a question I've been pondering. I usually just cleat off on the port or stbd bow cleat, but, as the boat swings, there appears to be a fair amount of chafing, especially on the bowsprit (I've got a tall-rig) and the gelcoat next to the cleat. I've been thinking about trying to rig some sort of "bridle", which would be a Y-connection to the anchor road. Each tail of the Y would then be connected to one of the bow cleats. Does anyone have experience with such a rig, or could you offer alternative suggestions to reduce chafing?
