FIVE OCEANS ATLANTIC SERIES
This is an anchor recovery device.
DO NOT
use the windlass to pull the boat to the anchor as it
will damage the mechanism. Vessels at anchor will snub on the rode and this can cause slippage
or apply excessive loads to the windlass. Best practice is to use a bollard or other strong point
when at anchor and use the vessels engines to break the anchor free. Otherwise excessive load
will cause the freefall function to seize and can cause damage to the gearbox.
When anchoring, power rode out allowing the vessel to take up stern away preventing the rode
tangling with anchor. Use this method for mooring stern first to a jetty. To aid recovery, under
power, move vessel towards anchor but not over and beyond, as this can cause damage to
topside. As anchor approaches the vessel use careful adjustments of controls to avoid damaging
vessel, start and stop the windlass to bring the anchor slowly into the bow roller. Pulling the last
bit of rode and anchor into the bow roller at full speed can damage the boat, bow roller and
windlass. When stowing it is important to make sure, particularly with rode lines that there is at
least 300mm (12”) of free space below the windlass (See §4.5). Stop and check during the
stowing process to determine if there is sufficient space on you vessel. If the rode pile is too
close to the underside of the windlass, re-distribute the rode away from directly below the
windlass. If the rode gets too close to the underside of the windlass it will cause problems with
good rode recovery and may cause damage to the line.
6.3 Windlass Operating Procedures
When retrieving anchor do not
overload or stall in windlass.
The rode should be secured directly to a bollard, sampson
post or cleat and a chain secured by a chain stopper.
