DEPARTURE CHECKLIST

Let's see: things to do -


  • Change engine oil and filters
  • 5/8" - 3 strand nylon anchor rode (250') for back tying the boat in a tight anchorage, anchor chain snubbing and miscellaneous use
  • Galvanized swivel and shackle for the anchor (I don't trust the SS anchor swivel I have on - it can't take side loads). 
  • Stainless steel seizing for the shackles (including the ones we put in for the boom brake)

    Think of no swivel then there is one less point of failure.
