great white Posted July 13, 2020 Report Posted July 13, 2020 went to the boat show with a mate who wanted to buy a new Lochin 33 [Not Cheap but in budget] They were not at the show so he was looking at an alternative, he was in his scruffs to give the boat a good looking over and the idiot salesman kept telling him off for opening lockers and asking questions. Last words from a well known ex Member were F### this as he stomped off up the jetty. In the words in a famous movie "Big Mistake" Quote
jerry.shutter Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Posted July 13, 2020 Never judge a book by its cover!! I really used the anchor hard yesterday, it cut the mega duty cable ties twice when coming over the roller so still not there. I think I will have to bite the bullet and go to a rigger like Steve has. Martin if you would like to try my mark one version your very welcome. Quote

I went to Anglesey to buy something he told me were not available. ( He's not there anymore ) ( Nothing to do with me ) Quote
Gazza Posted July 14, 2020 Report Posted July 14, 2020 Maybe you need to make the join between the anchor and the swivel rigid somehow so that the chain doesn't come at such a 90 deg angle ? maybe some sacrificial hose/ally tube or similar but slit lengthways so it still trips ? hopefully some of you buddy engineers might understand me just a thought but trying to help.......and waiting for the solution Best of luck Gary Jim and jerry.shutter 2 Quote
