Next message: Robin: "T&T: Hinge a Trawler Mast"
Capt. Bill,
We have a long snubber line made up with a chain hook that we tie off on the
bow. Since the anchor platform is over 7' off the water I am trying to reduce
the required amount of chain by having the attachment point two feet off the
water. For example, if we anchor in 8ft of water and use a 5:1 scope we need
(8+7)x5=75' of chain. If we use the bow eye, which is 2' off the water we
need (8+2)x5=50' of chain. Less chain out means less swinging which is no
small consideration with a Manatee which really sails around.
Regards,
Randy Pickelmann
