Qué cubre este vídeo

Sven Yrvind fabricates and fits anchor-handling gear on his small boat, the 5.9. He rigs a rope-chain combination for the chain rode and a separate setup for the ordinary anchor, securing each with heavily stitched, strong-thread eyes at the ends.▶ 1:02 The chain rode's eye is sized large enough to double as a mooring line, useful where chafe against concrete docks would otherwise damage plain rope.▶ 0:38 A protruding shackle initially prevents flush seating against an adjacent fitting; Yrvind removes a screw and cuts the interfering piece away so the shackle sits flush with material remaining for a secure knot.▶ 2:37 The finished arrangement stows aft on a bungee.▶ 1:25 The practical point: sizing the rope-chain eye generously lets it serve both anchoring and mooring duties, reducing the need for separate lines in chafe-prone berths.
