JonC Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 How do you get on running through your bow roller? I’m thinking the cable ties will just get smashed? I don’t have my anchor rigged to trip as I don’t ever fish over rough ground but it does make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think about doing it, however just like my glasses, I keep forgetting to take the ties with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem at all with running through the bow roller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It's called an "anchor trip link". https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Anchor-Trip-Link-craft-up-around-20ft-6mtr-/184699913103?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=Cj0KCQjw9_mDBhCGARIsAN3PaFNK7PeM0u32HgYe8OnnjUlYqS8bX8z9nZrxV-te87bPzjK8jF1Or54aAvvKEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Alderney method on her. I have a Quick Prince on Jersey Girl running 12mm 3 strand and 6mm chain IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the problem you mentioned about all the other windlasses you've had. It retrieves chain perfectly, but the rope doesn't fall away quick enough so it catches on the opposite side of the hawse hole and bunches back up into the gypsy.
