Foghorn Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 These are the fist 2 anchors I made, latest one has 6mm prongs only. There is 35mm steel rod inside the pipe this is to overcome the weight of the chain inside the boat, it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Great stuff ! I'm just installing a winch in my boat...so looking closely at your "spring-load" idea. Do you have a view of the breaking strain of that set up? Cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foghorn Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The south pacific winch needs 1/2 inch rope, the spring can be obtained from any good hardware store, the spring is to keep positive pressure on the anchor to stop it moving around, if I want to it would probably pull f the mount on the boat, I only have about 1 metre of chain on the anchor as the weight keeps it down, on my sand anchor i have added steel to the vanes as added weights, will post a picture later.
