Drag the bottom with hook the right size to snag the chain.

Then what ?

Blame Obama.

No need to blame him for your petty anchor problems, D'Plume. He's
doing enough to catch hell for.

You're the one with the petty problems.

With no irony, D'Plume. You are simply *petty*

Spoken by a guy who enjoys stalking women? Well, ok.

But, who would mistake you for a woman, D'Plume?

Part of why we sometimes address de-plume as she-it.

The "why" is that you and your right-wing buddies here are assholes, and
worse, scared to death of women with brains. One can only imagine what
your aged Stepford Wives are like, eh?

Did not have time to read all the other answers, however, a 40' boat
by itself is a pretty good fulcrum pivoting about it's center of
buoyancy. So, get the chain vertical, heave till it is taught with
all persons ON THE BOW. Everybody goes aft which pulls the anchor
free. Repeat to slowly haul the anchor.

Unless, of course, the anchor is snagged on something significant.

That only works if you keep progressing into shallower water as SW Tom
suggested.

The problem as stated was a broken windlass, not a fouled anchor.

You are in a 40 something boat, power or sail makes no difference,
anchored in over 40 feet of water with 3/8ths chain and a 60 pound
anchor. The combination of chain and anchor weigh about 150 pounds
not counting the large mud ball that wants to come up also, easily 200
pounds total. The chain and anchor are worth something over $1500
and not easily replaced in remote locations.

The problem: The anchor windlass has failed in some unfortunate way,
and not easily repaired. How do you retrieve your expensive anchor
and chain?

You'll notice that Larry never once acknowledged his statement "cut and
run" was fundamentally wrong. You'll also notice that I gave a rather
complete solution to this question, and all the "men" have refused to
comment on it, even the "expert" Wayne.


I did respond. I just don't monitor this group all day long like some
misfits.

So sorry for the lack of a response. Maybe this pathetic "reminder" will
elicit one.

Maybe you'll finally admit that you lied when you claimed you never said
cut and run. Still waiting... why not be a man and admit it?

You are a man, right? That's what you're claiming?


A pathetic, sorry excuse for one.

Little buddy, you may want to tone that down a little. What with your
son hanging around your house drinking your beer and such.

Every boat has some sort of rope or dock lines. Even without any
pulleys you can rig a two to one or 4 to one block and tackle -like
system although it will have a lot of nylon to nylon friction which
can be reduced by pouring water over where the ropes rub together.
Make a loop over a cleat, make a prusik knot with another loop on the
chain or something that can grab the chain. Your hauling rope goes
back and forth between these two loops to give you a 4 to one
advantage.
Good God people, if the Egyptians can build pyramids with natural
fiber ropes and levers, this is simple.

I have no beer around for my son to drink... but since it's getting warmer,
a nice case of 24 would come in handy.
Are you allowed to have liquor in the house...after the broken arms
incident?

The ID spoofer certainly comes across here like Loogy...witless, dull,
coward, big mouth, bad writer. I suppose if I were Loogy, I'd want to be
someone else, too.
