... One more thing. The nice thing about the Grabber is that it eliminates the noise of the chain rattling around on the bow roller all the time as happens with a stopper. The stopped is alot easier to use though. Well, perhaps, but I found the jerking which occurred if there was no give in the line annoying and also felt it couldn't be doing the boat any good. Thus my use of the nylon and hook whenever I thought it might help (waves, mostly, though a strong enough wind will take the catenary out of the longest chain)...

Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated by your friends." - James S. Pitkin |
