Also are you sure it was rubbing on the dolphin striker . . . on really calm
nights . . .no tide etc . . . sometimes the chain can be heard rubbing
against itself or a rock both on the bottom . . . really no cure if that is
the case . . . doesn't happen often but it does happen . . . Paul

I've found it helpful to hook a link with a chain hook a few feet below the
bow roller and run the line back and through the hawse pipe to the samson
post. When you snug up the line, it takes the strain off the windlass and
pulls the anchor rode away from your bowsprit cable. It seems to solve that
pesky rubbing problem under nearly all conditions.

 

Good luck,

Subject: [Baba-L] Puzzling Anchor Issue

Hello all,

 

Im wondering if you'all can help me solve an achoring problem I experienced
this weekend. I was at a very calm anchorage so my anchor chain went
strait down, there was no pull from the boat with current or wind. All
night long, the anchor chain rubbed against the cable that runs from the bow
sprit to the water line.

 

I have an anchor snubber but I don't see how that would have helped the
sitation. I have anchored previously but given that there is a little wind
or current, it generally keeps me off the chain.

 

I'm sure someone has a way to resolve this annoying problem.

 

Thanks a bunch!
