Stern anchor tape spool

I usually sail by myself around the Greek Islands.
To do an efficient Mediterranean mooring is an an acquired art best performed
with no audience.
To release the bow anchor and simultaneously steer backwards is a strategy for an enormous octopus rather than me.
SO it seems useful to drop the stern anchor off as I motor into the available and usually narrow slot.
All well and good - until it comes to the herculean task of pulling it up again
without the dirty muddy and smelly chain filling the cockpit.
So I was intrigued to spot a large spool on someones pushpit.
Winding that in would be nice and tidy, keep the boat safe and clean and me out of the orthopaedic department
Does any one have any knowledge of this kit.... I would be delighted to find out

Or make your own.

Cargo Strap - Quality cargo control and load security products

1.5 INCH POLYESTER WEBBING is 4500 lb breaking strength webbing in multiple colors. Webbing sold by CustomTieDowns.com is made in the USA. CustomTieDowns.com webbing is stored in 300 foot rolls. Therefore, the maximum continuous length available is 300 feet. Some rolls may contain splices. If splices are undesirable, please note 'no splices' during checkout and we will attempt to ship splice free rolls. 1.5 inch wide webbing can be ordered by the foot and cut to any specific length less than 300 feet.

CustomTieDowns.com - 2 Inch Polyester

I met a guy many years ago that did not use what we all use for anchor line. He used webbing. So cool to wind up so much in so little space.

Re: Stern anchor tape spool

Quickline makes one, too, although I agree that fabbing a reasonably strong one up yourself would be pretty simple.

You just have to remember to tie the webbing to a cleat and not just the reel.
