THE KEDGE ANCHOR

THE KEDGE ANCHOR
The next bit of work completed is the anchor launch pad, and you will be able to see from the photo that it is a sturdy piece of kit. Our Dave does not do things by halves! The device was fabricated by an engineer in Tobermory to a design by Dave. The anchor had been cut down to make the device smaller, but in the end it could have kept its shank as the slope was determined by the need to miss the bottom of the boat when it is deployed. The chain and rode for the anchor is ready in the cockpit locker, so all that has to happen if we need it is to open the locker, pull out the firs bit of chain and shackle it to the anchor and then let it go. Retrieving it is easy too as the rode can be put on the primary winch in the cockpit. One can add the thought that it is unique, I don’t think we will see another just like it.
