Stus-List Anchor chain hook on bow?

Hello all,I was reading through one of the sailing magazines, and there was commentary about the value of a windlass or "at least an anchor chain hook" you can use to take a break when hoisting anchor.  While I don't feel the need for a windlass yet, I have had situations when raising the

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice - Shank angle comparison at scope of 5:1, 6:1, 7:1 etc.

Another thing to consider - the angle of the shank at various scope ratios.  You might want to look at the following site:  http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/anchor_scope=1, and be sure to look at page 2 as well.  Once you get beyond 6:1 the return on longer line or chain drops off pretty

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Excellent question. When I installed a windlass and 200 feet of chain on a client's boat, I had the store load the barrel of chain into my Suburban with a forklift. Fortunately for me the boat was bow in on a bulkhead. We simply used the new windlass to fed it from the back of the Suburban into

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Curious, How does someone get 300# of chain from the store to the boat? At 1.10#/ft that will weigh 302#. Split it up into 6) 5gal buckets, the portions would be more manageble at 50# each and that would fit in a dolly/cart and could be safely handled by one person, as in lifted in and

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny, I needed chain for one of my clients a few years ago. I asked the local crab fishermen where they got chain. They pointed me to a local Vietnamese-owned marine supply store where I bought chain at a decent discount to the regular marine supply stores. Ask the local fishermen! Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Joel, Anchoring is pretty new to us but the goal is to stay in 15 feet or less.  So, you point is well taken. Fred, I was considering the 90 feet of chain option.  Isn't the rule of thumb 7:1 including the free board?  I mean, still, 90 feet of chain laid out on the bottom should be plenty

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny — unless you’re anchoring deep or in tropical waters (read: coral) all the time, I would think 90 feet of chain (over two boat lengths) would work for your type of sailing. This would easily give you a 5:1 scope in fifteen feet of water without going onto the rope rode. And the size and

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain advice

Danny, How deep are your typical anchorages? If you are anchoring in 15 feet of water you will have 200 feet of chain left in the locker. Don't forget about an anchor hook and snubber. Joel

Hi All, I've got an old simpson lawrence sprint 1500 windlass on Rum Runner with an RC172 gypsy.  This gypsy is for 5/16” G43 HT ISO chain.  Currently I can't identify the existing chain but it certainly is the wrong size for the gypsy and the measurements don't match G4 or BBB chain.  I have

Good advice. Gypsies are VERY specific for chain. Size and grade matter. Definitely check and order the correct gypsy or plan on buying new chain. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 1:49 PM, Alan Liles via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I just

I just replaced my old breaker blowing, jamming, 14 year old windlass. It turns out that the 50 feet of 3/8 BBB chain and the 200 feet of 3/4 nylon rope were incompatible with the existing gypsy. Gypsies are selective about their rode so if I were buying new I would make sure it would work with

Re: Stus-List Anchor chain

Hi Fred, I don't believe there is anything wrong using a high quality link, with the expectation that it is replaced occasionally due to corrosion issues where it is difficult to inspect. It might be tricky to get one that matches the pitch an your windlass head.

Hi Patrick, Try the Sidney Sailor exchange (or whatever they call the damn thing these days, humbug). http://www.theboaters-exchange.com/ It might take some time wading through all the old stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if you find what you need. BTW, take a pencil rub of your deck pipe
