Anchor--how close.?

[aitchem]

Hello,
Is this right, too close, or too far away.
The anchor falls forward on the tipper at first, then drops vertically.
I would like it half the pictured distance if it's practical.

What do you regular anchorors think.?

thx
Howard

errmmm, you do know your anchor is upside down in that picture ? Either that or I bolted mine together the wrong way up

 

[sailorman]

stow it in a well is what i think & do

If it's all solidly secured already, I'd leave it; and remember you may well be playing with the anchor pitching in waves when it will do its' best to clobber the boat.

On the plus side, if you're thinking about berthing fees and length, I believe the Frigate 27 is actually 26' LOA ? If so, get in the habit of quoting that, and forget mentioning the class name !

Robie's right. It aint going to fit there when it's together right.

The problem with close overhangs is pecking.
The tip of the fluke pecks at the bow owing to movement when sailing.
There are two solutions, either a pecking plate ( a stainless steel protection plate to avoid pecking damage) or a lashing (a rope securing the fluke).....I hope that helps.

Definitely assembled incorrectly - the shoulders on the shank should be hard up against the yellow painted side.

Why can I not open the picture?

 

[westernman]

Why can I not open the picture?

Because he had put the anchor together the wrong way around and was embarrassed that we were all looking at it

Why can I not open the picture?

Neither can I. IE8/Windows XP
