I mounted one of these between the locker and the
roller. I bungie it up when dropping and let it
ride on the chain on the way up. I also use it
to take the tension off the windlass any time the anchor is set or up.

Hello all,
I was reading through one of the sailing
magazines, and there was commentary about the
value of a windlass or "at least an anchor
chain hook" you can use to take a break when hoisting anchor.
While I don't feel the need for a windlass yet,
I have had situations when raising the anchor
where I've needed to wrap chain around one of
the forward cleats because a wind gust is
blowing me off. This usually results in some
chain finding its way through my hands, and
much more concerning is the chance for hands to
be caught between the chain and the cleat with
crushingly obvious consequences. If I had the
ability to easily hook the chain to hold it
while the bow swings off the wind or for the
purposes of pulling the hook out of the mud would be helpful.
Is there such a hook that can be permanently
mounted on the bow/anchor roller where I could
simply put the chain under moderate tension for
a minute or two while things get sorted out?
Thanks in advance for your insights,
