2.8 Anchor (option)-, towing- and warping facilities
The bower anchor (option), about 15 kg, hot-galvanised, (is known for its high holding power). It It lays
ready-to-fall in the bow fitting. The chain (option) has a length of 50 m and a nominal thickness of 8 mm. It
is run out by an electric anchor windlass operated with a remote control. The remote control is placed in the
chain locker before use and its function is activated at the switch board.
You should always use a claw or anchor chain hook to relieve the anchor winch, which is then placed on the
cleat.

mooring- and towing lines with the necessary strength on board:
1 stern folding anchor (4-fluke grapnel anchor), 10 kg, hot-galvanised, fixed at the aft guard-rail. 6 m chain
forerunner, thickness 6 mm, 34 m polyamide anchor rope, 16 mm, 3-strand hawser laid. It is stored in the
port transom seat.
The rope is cleated aft.

when being towed.
Warning!
A tow line shall always be made fast in such a way that it can be released when under load.

chain(s), anchor lines and anchor(s) are adequate for the vessel’s intended use, i.e. the lines or
