Anchoring and Boat retrieval

[Chimo]

Sorry myway but I really do prefer to have the boat able to swing bow to wind and current so the endless loop with the paynter attached so that the boat sits above the anchor chain and is able to swing as the tide and wind move.

Being able to step up onto the bow (via ladder) and retain dry feet and body is also nice.

All one needs to do is undo the to loop from the land anchor and hand over hand the endless loop on its pulley that is connected to the end of the anchor chain,and the bow presents itself on the beach at any stage of the tide.

I use the anchor buddy from Wynnum. Just anchor out deep with buddy attached and motor in to shore then anchor up to shore and then tighten front anchor line. Then let go of boat . Boat then shoots out to deeper water and is easy to launch off at low tide. After having been stuck on the hard at the Bedrooms a few time i learnt to do it differently .

I am very interested in your theory but just cannot picture it. Any chance of apicture or photos??

Hi Ben

No pic at the moment but I'll try and clarify.

Parts list.
- Anchor and chain (warp removed)
- pulley and d or clip (to attach to the end of the anchor chain)
- warp off the anchor or a similar or shorter length
- land anchor
- bow paynter (short rope, say twice the depth that your going to anchor up in)

Pass the end of the warp through the pulley that you have "d"ed or cliped to the anchor chain. Tie the two ends together eg bowline through the eye at the end of the warp. Also attach (d or clip) the end of the paynter to the warp through the eye ie where you joined the two ends together.

Anchor the boat in you chosen location, back up as normal to set the anchor then proceed to shore, bow first with the warp feeding out.

Step off the bow onto the dry beach! unload the land anchor (or choose a well located tree to tie off to)

Holding the rest of the warp on land push the unloaded boat off and pull the looped warp which pulls the boat by the paynter so the boat is returned to your anchor.

Even silver rope can be tightened enough so that it lays close to the bottom and is less likely to run over by other boats moving between your anchored boat and the shore but the distance off shore depends on the sea bed slope and tide movement.

Tie off to your tree or land anchor and the boat will swing on its "mooring" until you release the land anchor tree and pull it in on the loop.

Dry feet, no sticky fingers on the boat and it works for me. All you need extra is a pulley and a few d s or clips and your spare anchor and maybe a spare length of rope if you dont want to use your anchor warp.

Hope this is clearer for you Ben?

Thanks CHIMO.

Pretty sure I get it and will give it a run next camping trip.

Any chance someone has found a diagram of this? I think i get it but a picture would be so much clearer.

Its not that hard

Think of an endless clothes line with a pulley block in the deep end attached to your chain and anchor.

Now think of your bow rope tied onto the loop. The shore end of the loop gets secured to another anchor or a tree after you have got all your crew and gear off the boat on shore and the boat gets pulled into the deep water.

Off to eat now.!

I use an anchor winch with a remote and the back anchor on the beach . Easy

[JulianDeMarchi]

I bought one of these to use.

Works a treat, 100% recommend!

Sounds like an up market version of the set up I use.

What do you use the floats and the ring for? or is that the gear you use for deep water anchor retrieval that is included in the kit?
Do you use two floats for retrieval as they look sort of small?

yep I'm struggling to work out what the float and ring are for too?

[JulianDeMarchi]

The ring replaces the pulley at the beach end. Makes it easier for use. The floats are used so when you come back from a days fishing you know where your clips are, and other boaters don't run over your system while you are out fishing.

Asked reel tackle about the setup and this was their response -
"The ring attaches to a length of rope which gets tied to a tree or another anchor on the shore. The main rope just goes through the ring and back into the water to the boat. The 2 floats are optional, some guys like to anchor side on so they use a float setup to attach to both ends of the boat otherwise the float that joins to main rope together clips onto the winch hook of the boat and the boat hangs bow into the current."

I was over thinking it with their included anchor and ring and floats and clips..
