ah, two chains could be added to the anchor: one on the front - the one linked to the arm; the second chain would go on the back plate - it would pull the anchor up from behind
@@AskCaptainChris ok, well.. i’ve just been browsing around to see ideas on how to pull an anchor that gets stuck. *or maybe rather, how to pre plan it (as you mentioned) one example was to use a single chain. this chain would be tied to the front of the anchor with a plastic zip tie - continuing down to the back of the anchor. veering stress will then snap that plastic tie, making the chain loose from the front and will then only pull the anchor from behind.
They just bought the boat and the rinse hose wasn't there. BUT we did notice a lot of mud in the anchor locker so they will have to deploy all the rode and then rinse and poke around with a boat pole to clear the drain. Good catch.
953173 no idea as I don’t know how this boat was built or how old the rope is. Keep watching our channel as I have one upcoming video where the line actually snapped.
Michael Rutledge good question but here is why NOT. The chain stopper device is generally lag bolted into place. The bow cleats are designed for heavy load and should be back plated and bolted in place.
Pardal Bartz If it were stuck in the rocks I would’ve had a different anchor. 😉 Knowing your water bottom is essential when deciding which type of anchor to use. And there are all kinds of other tricks to get a stuck anchor “unstuck.” We teach that when we are aboard with you. A trip line is one option but there are quite a few other options we will teach you when we are aboard with you. Thanks for watching.
Yup. We travel all over the states and Canada but primarily are on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Call me 772-205-1859 between 8a-5p eastern please as I just returned from another training trip and need a nights rest. Talk soon!
Phil B once we got it unstuck the anchor rose to the surface so quick because the boat was in reverse...and the anchor was hydroplaning with the flukes acting like wings. It was a folding fluke anchor.

That would be a pre planned action. This area is not known for having anchors stuck so we did the best we could.

@@levetbyck yes. Did that in the keys often when anchoring for a few hours vs overnight.
The hose to rinse the chain wasn't even hooked up. Lots of mud in the chain locker now.
But, rinsing wasn't the point of the video either.

Every rigging hookup is as good as its weakest link. Do you think the line or the cleat would fail first?

Why wouldn’t you pin the chain in the chain guide (right in front of windlass) instead of risking tearing out cleat??

Watch is a bit loose. Deliberate I guess.
Windless underpowered
Bayard Taylor stuck is stuck. Anchor windlass is appropriate size for anchor and chain aboard this boat.
stuck in the mud isn't really stuck! What would you do if it was stuck on rocks?

@@AskCaptainChris I will, thanks!
Is that a mantis bridle?
Yes it is.
I’m guessing an “aloominum” Fortress anchor? Never seen an anchor rise to the surface so quick.

Ok
Also get a rocna
Shakiest camera in any video EVER 😣🤔😳
Omg
