Stus-List Anchoring over bow roller
Hi All, I usually marina hop and have yet to anchor overnight. We plan on doing that this year in the muddy Chesapeake Bay. Our boat is a Landfall 38. The chocks (used for dock lines) on the front of the boat do not look convenient for anchoring due to the angle of the pull. My question is will it be okay to leave my eight plait line run through the rollers with a Chafe-Pro chafe guard at the point of chafe as long as I add something to keep the line from jumping out of the rollers? Are the stem fittings on the LF38 strong enough to handle the load should the wind pipe up to 40 mph or so. They appear to be. I have the double roller style stem fitting. Rarely see 40 mph here in the Bay but it does happen. If the forecast for the wind is higher we usually stay home. Too much like work when you are 70 years old.

Re: Stus-List Bow roller question for Landfall 38
Thanks Frederick! I thought that it would be okay but have learned never to assume especially on the water! Do you use anything to keep the line from jumping the roller or has that not been a problem?

My question is is it okay to just run the line over the bow roller then cleat it off or should I run the line through one of the port/starboard bow openings you run your dock lines through?

Stus-List Lost halyard
My mainsail halyard got away from me on my LF38 and diappeared into the mast so I pulled it all the way out. Boat is currently on the hard. I'm sure I'm not the first to make this mistake. Has anyone had luck just dropping a weighted messenger line down from the top of the mast with the rig up or am I going to have to drop the rig?
