4. Safety Read Before Installing and Operating Your Windlass Classification Societies and Simpson Lawrence require that a vessel at anchor must have its rode held by a chain stopper or equivalent strong point at all times At all times it is the responsibility of the boat user to ensure that the anchor and rode are properly stowed for the prevailing sea conditions This is particularly important with high speed powerboats because an anchor accidentally falling in the water while under way can cause considerable damage An anchor windlass is mounted in the most exposed position on a vessel and is thus subject to severe atmospheric attack resulting in a possibility of corrosion in excess of that experienced with most other items of deck equipment As the windlass may only be used infrequently the risk of corrosion is further increased It is essential that the windlass is regularly examined operated and given any necessary maintenance kkkkk 2 PLANNING the INSTALLATION 2 1 Gipsy Suitability 2 2 Package Contents The RC061 rope chain gipsy is ideally suited Windlass to our factory made anchor rodes which Mounting Studs Nuts Washers and Clamping consist of rope spliced to a chain tail Rope Plate used with this rope chain gipsy must be Safety Instructions windlass grade 1 7 12 14mm medium lay Mounting Template three strand nylon Ropes from different Instruction Booklet manufacturers have wide variations in stretch Breaker Isolator and c
5. prudent act of seamanship anchor recovery operations require the undivided attention of skipper and crew to prevent personal injury or damage to the vessel In a typical anchor recovery situation the windlass will pass through a number of operational phases 6 1 Safety First To avoid personal injuries ensure that limbs fingers and clothing are kept clear of the anchor rode and windlass during operation Always ensure that there are no swimmers or divers nearby when dropping your anchor 6 2 Letting Go Release any independent anchor locks If it is safe to do so let go under power by operating a Down control 6 3 Lying to Anchor Safely Vessels at anchor will snub on the rode and this can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass For maximum safety and to prevent damage the windlass must not be left to take the entire force from the anchor rode while at anchor The rode should be made fast directly to a bollard sampson post or cleat 6 4 Hauling In Untie the bridle or replace the rode in the gipsy If it is safe to do so operate an Up control Having retrieved the anchor ensure it is independently secured to prevent its accidental release 6 5 Operating Tips When anchoring it is best to power the rode out allowing the vessel to take up stern way before full scope is let out This helps prevent the rode from becoming tangled on top of your anchor on the seabed To aid anchor rec
