Paul D Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Saw this - may be of interest to someone Alderney Ring Quote
Newboy Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Cool design, you can put the ring in anytime, which is unlike mine, it has to be in with the rope from the start. Quote
Fugazi Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 According to Crayside Marine they consider this type dangerous, I seem to remember from a previous thread, but don't know why? Quote
Newboy Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Because they didn't sell it to you..... Seriouly, the only problem I can see is the clip snap which might open at the wrong moment, a D link is probably better. Quote
TomBettle Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 For a fiver it looks absolutely spot on Quote
blueboatdriver Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Matts is like this one and it works perfectly.(Bliss ll) Quote
Guest Guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 mine is the same type but I had the two small eye's welded together works fine as it's only the bouy that hangs of the small eye Reg Quote
Coddy Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Just a quicky question, Does anyone use a stop? Been thinking of using a short length of dowel to stop the buoy coming back to the bow or are the coat hanger types best? Coddy Quote
Afishionado Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Just a quicky question, Does anyone use a stop? Been thinking of using a short length of dowel to stop the buoy coming back to the bow or are the coat hanger types best? Coddy A plain S/S ring of sufficient diameter will do it. I use one with a short length of S/S bar welde at rightangles. Mad Mike Quote
Newboy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 I use the coat hanger stopper, easy to use. Quote
markee_b Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Can anyone tell me why the Anka Yanka is so expensive compared to this item please ? I'm definitely in the market for one of these gizmos right now, and was looking at the AY....not so sure now I've seen the price difference, although I always thought that Quote
Newboy Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 The Yankee set up is very well made, and the ease of use (clip on to the rope at any time) is just brill. I bet it cos a few bobs to developed, so they have to make their money somehow. Quote
markee_b Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Thats not advice unless you're implying that the Alderney Ring on EBay is rubbish ? Quote
Afishionado Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Thats not advice unless you're implying that the Alderney Ring on EBay is rubbish ? I.m sorry you could not understand what I was saying, I thought it was simple enough. The Ankayanka at Quote
markee_b Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 That's more like it The ring on EBay is (as Kam has said) quite handy looking because it allows you to slip it on the warp at any time...like the AY...but it's a fraction of the cost.. So, IYO....which would you opt for ? Ta...Mark Quote
Adam F Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 The cheap one on Ebay - same as the ones made by a club member, as you say you can slip it on and off easily. I cant understand anyone paying Quote
Adam F Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Sorry Kam you've completely lost me.... anyway - you would never get a Warrior 165 for Quote
blueboatdriver Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Stainless Steve's selling one for Quote
markee_b Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Cheers all...I'll see if the seller on Eby repsonds to my postage question otherwise Stainless steve looks good to me... Quote
Fugazi Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 I need one of those coathanger anchor stops but couldn't find one on Stainless Steve's web site, does anyone know who else supplies them? Gordon H Quote
blueboatdriver Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 If you phone and ask him he'd probably make one for you. Quote
Coddy Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Hi Gordon Go to Crayside Marine web site and look up stainless steel. Cost about Quote
