How to use an anchor ball
« on: January 16, 2015, 06:08:19 AM »



If you do not have a windlass on a vessel an anchorball can be a back saver.  It will also help pull out an anchor that is stuck.

it works, but don't run over the rode.. once that ball goes under, you can't see anything and once the rope tightens, they boat will turn directions..

We have one on "Peggy Lee" and use the ball when we can. Keep in mind tight anchor spots with other vessels anchored will certainly  LIMIT your use of the ball system. In those conditions we use the muscle of the mate.  t^

Thanks, Eddie.   I have one but hardly use it as I usually end up anchored in a fleet.  It worked well when I tried it in the bay.  t^
