reddriff Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hi all Can anybody tell me the procedure for lifting an anchor from the sea bed with an anchor ball? I have seen several boats that have been at anchor; put a ball float on the anchor line and power off lifting the anchor from it holding position. What size float to anchor size is required? And how effective is it? Any help please Thanks Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 There are good details on how to do this on the Anka Yanka website. Using anchor retreval system The method is extremely effective and saves all that hauling rope. Just need to ensure that the rope does not get wrapped around the outboard leg as, I have been reliably informed. this is the quickest way of sinking a boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 If you are gonna use the Alderney ring system, make sure you get the stopper, it's so much easier to spot the rope when the buoy is 10' in front of boat rather then tuck underneath the bow.

Maverick Martin Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Keith Your quite welcome to come out on Maverick sometime to see how to use an alderney ring and buoy set up. Its easy when you know how and its definately easier and safer if your shown. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotshot Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'd also be very grateful if someone would be willing to show me this technique, if that would be possible, please. I think I get the general idea (from the link shown) but realise there's a great deal of difference between theory and practice! Dan (Gnasher) not sure if you'd also be able to help me sort out a ring, please (or tell me what / where I need to get)? Thanks and regards, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been and still is a busy month fishing wise so perhaps we could do it one week end in October? If you let me know which week would suit you best we'll take it from there Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
