I've try hard to find the right procedure to publish photos!!!.. I hope it will work?? lets hope..

The hook is made in a stainless steel plate of 10 mm thickness.. all dimensions are in mm.

- The main line will be attached with a 10 mm shackle (in the 11 mm hole)
- the small hole in the opposite corner is used for a small trip line.. Whith a small line attached to this hole, when your chain is under tension, just release the main line and you can easily remove the hook..

Peaceful anchoring..

Alain

First the "iron hand" from Wichard:

Then the hook I did manufacture and that i'm using aboard Hylas:

and now the drawing:

The hook is manufactured using a stainless steel plate of 10 mm thickness.. all dimensions are in mm.

- The main line is attached to the biggest hole (11 mm)
- The small hole on the opposite corner is used to attach a trip line:
With you chain tight, release the main line and pull the small trip line, the hook will desengage itself free..

Peacefull anchorages
