As the boat motors forwards the anchor rope will pass to the
side and at this point use a boat hook to lift up the anchor rope and use a
piece of rope with two spliced ring ends with one being attached to the
stern cleat or bollard and the other loop is passed under the anchor rope
and back onto the stern cleat or bollard as this will keep the anchor rope
above the gunwales and prevent it from getting caught around the prop and
sterngear.
In this diagram you can see that the anchor and chain are pulled up vertically and the buoy with the Anka Yanka acts as a fulcrum which is many times stronger than the strength of a crewman, especially if the anchor has buried itself deeply in the seabed due to the forces of tide and wind. |
