My rode is 3 strand which I spliced to the chain. I check the splice at the
beginning of the season. I have to pull it over the gypsy when hauling up the
anchor to prevent a jam up.

Anchor roller
I have chain connected to the anchor so I am all chain at the point we are
talking about. How do you attach a line to the chain at that point to be able
to tie it off? I can see having a chain hook with a line that I leave in the
anchor locker, but it seems like it would be challenging to tie a line to the
chain one handed while supporting the anchor. Doing all of this in rough
weather with the anchor swinging from the bow sounds like a recipe for
disaster.Is a windlass powerful enough to pull the stem over the roller? One
additional question: how to people secure the anchor to the roller once it is
in place? I used to use a pin, but after that got bent and the anchor could
not be deployed, I stopped using one on the recommendation of this list. I now
run a small high tech line from the stem through a deck eye and back to the bow
cleat, but I wonder if a chain hook would be a better idea.Dave

I was using the windless to pull the chain to the point where the shank of the
anchor cleared the water. I have also pulled the chain by hand (before the
battery was hooked up) and tied the chain off when the anchor broke the water.
Once the chain is tied off (rolling hitch with a rope or a chain hook) I reach
over the bow with the gaff and pull the anchor home.

I am not sure I understand what you are doing. How do you support the
anchor/chain while you get forward to get a gaff hooked onto it? Dave

I have a Rocna 20kg anchor and although I have a windlass I don't use it to
pull the anchor over the roller. I use a gaff over the pulpit to hook on the
roller of the anchor. Pull it home with no problem and can hold in place while
I tighten it up. Works like a charm and a lot less stress on the equipment.

And now for something completely different- I have only used my anchor a few
times, but I have found it really hard to recover by hand- much harder than the
one I had on my C&C34. The anchor is heavier- Rocna 27 lb, and the chain is
heavier. I can pull it up by hand, but when it gets to the roller, there is no
way to get the long stem of the anchor around the 90° turn of the roller. I am
usually sitting in the anchor well with my feet braced to pull the chain up.
At that point, I have to stand up and grab the chain so I can pull vertically
to get the stem over the roller. There must be an easier way (other than a
electric windlass). Does anyone have any tricks? Dave
