Wow!  300 feet?

In my area, when you see crab trap buoys, you're in LESS than 10 feet of
water.

Re: Stus-List Small lead weight "sewn" into anchor rode?

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Bruce,

The other guys are on the right track regarding kellet associations. 
But six ounces is ridiculously small of course, for the purpose, 
seeing as 10 - 50 percent of anchor weight is good.


I suspect your little weights were sewn in to act as a kellet "stop" 
since it doesn't do much good if you let the weight slide too close 
to the hook. With a system like this it would be practical to 
eliminate chain. Did this boat race in a past life?


Or Jim could have the best view.

Cheers, Russ

Hello all,

On both of my old anchor rodes, there is a small (6 oz or so) lead 
weight with a line through the middle, with the line on both ends 
woven into the rode so that the weight stays held up against the 
line in place.  On one line, the weight is about 10 feet from the 
end connected to the chain.  On the other one, it is more like 20 feet.


What would be the purpose of these small weights?

Thanks for the insight,

Here in Maryland we have a week coming up of above freezing weather – maybe up 
to 50 – and rain. This over snow and frozen ground = my yard turns into a mud 
pit.

Not fun with dogs :(

Re: Stus-List Small lead weight "sewn" into anchor rode?

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

A kellet is normally much heavier than 6 ounces – say 10 or 15 pounds. Commonly 
they have a snatch block or something like a carabineer on the top of the 
kellet so it can be affixed to the rode with a smaller line attached to the 
kellet so it can be lowered to a position about half way along the rode when 
needed  and pulled back aboard the boat when you retrieve the anchor. Mike is 
correct that the purpose of the kellet is to increase the catenary of the rode 
and help ensure that the pull on the anchor is along the bottom and not 
vertical.

 

Bruce, how long is your anchor chain? 30 or 40 feet? If it is much shorter than 
that, maybe the PO put the weights on the rode to help make up for having short 
chain?

Probably kellets? Used at that end to keep the line horizontal to the bottom 
for better holding?

To keep the line hanging straight down in the water to prevent wrapping the
