Sailing Vessel Triteia - Completing The Anchor Setup onboard an Alberg 30

The Anchor Setup - Part 4 - The Anchor Rode

This episode is a Throwback project video, one of many I will be uploading every couple of weeks. As I mentioned before I undertook a lot of major projects in preparation for the Channel Islands trip and I shot a ton of video.

In this video I splice my rope rode to my 3/8 bbb anchor chain then I measured out all of my rode, 80 feet of chain and 600 feet of rope, and marked every 20 feet with colored zip ties.

Then I started the process of stowing it all in my new anchor locker. It was quite a chore to do alone as the rope rode keep getting tangled up and required a lot to get it all in the locker and laid down.

I know many of my subscribers really enjoy the refit videos so I will be working these in over the next couple of months. I just couldn’t wait to share my adventure videos, as that is the entire reason I worked so hard on these projects to allow me the ability to sail and explore new places.

Thanks for watching!

Fair Winds,
Sailor James

Alberg 30’s have long been known and respected as blue water boats, from Yves Gelinas’ Jean-Du-Sud to being featured in John Vigor’s “Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere”. Now I am the proud owner of Hull #55! Come along with me as I refit her and take her sailing in preparation for my circumnavigation in a few years time!
