Randy, I was waiting to see if anyone came up with the answer. We have used a
snubber to the bob stay fitting, which is at the waterline--complicated by a
rod rigging which goes from this to the cringle iron at the end of a 6 foot
long Bow Sprit, with a dolfin striker, which is like a spreader on the center
of this rod. We have used it two ways--one was with a snatch block--or any
block permently attatched to the eye. The snubber was run thru the block, and
kept tight by its end which ran back up to the deck, where it was cleated off
as it ran thru the hause pipe on the fore deck.
The second way, is similar--you have the line how ever long you want it. As
you let the chain out, keep the chain hook tight, letting the line out, until
you are almost to the point where you have to let it go. You have a second
line, which can be tied in a loop around the snubber, and use this to keep the
snubber tight, as you slowly lower it, along with the last loop of chain.
Finally, the chain hooks, have a small upward tip. The purpose of this is so
that you can "mouse" the chain to the chain hook, with small stuff. I use
some dacron fish line--that will prevent the chain hook from comming off.
Did you get other suggestions? Which worked?
Bob Austin
