Re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

There are those of us who regularly anchor in 6' of water, where chain cantenary does us little good at all. Ah, to be a deep draft mono on the Pacific coast...

No, wait, nevermind :D

Re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

I expect the rubber snubber will be just fine for many years in Mystic. Down in the tropics, they won't give much life.

Re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

You are not the only one. We don't have a problem running the chain hook (two hooks for us) over our roller and onto the deck. Likewise, Nick and a couple others also stated they had no problem.

Re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

Our windlass uses a special handle tool for its clutch, which is kept in the anchor locker. But our windlass goes in both directions, so I would normally use the controls for slacking chain. If...

Re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

Re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

Do yourself a favor and replace that stopper chain with spectra line. A chain hook like Nick's attached to a spectra line connected to a midline cleat is our chain stopper.

re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

re: Rolling Hitch on Snubber

In previous threads, didn't you introduce the icicle hitch? Would that load on the chain differently than a rolling hitch?

BTW, what do you find clumsy about a chain hook?
