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

It just occurred to me that I misspoke about the 9/16ths chain. *I ment 5/16ths*. Josh On Oct 2, 2017 11:48 AM, "Josh Muckley" wrote: > Bruce, > > I'm in the process of upgrading/modifying my ground tackle in preps for a > manual windlass. The PO had arranged a 35lbs

I read this article yesterday. It starts off talking about snubbers but them becomes a discussion of anchor rodes and their shock absorbing ability and how to size rodes accordingly with a discussion about mixed rodes. https://www.sailmagazine.com/cruising/anchor-snubber-tips You may find it

Bruce, I'm in the process of upgrading/modifying my ground tackle in preps for a manual windlass. The PO had arranged a 35lbs Bruce claw with 20' of 3/8ths BBB chain shackled to 3/4" double braid which had an eye splice and thimble. The thimble was huge and made retrieving the anchor difficult
