I have just been in touch with Moreno at Anchor-Safe. It is a wireless chain counter than can be installed without running the wiring sensor back to the cockpit. This thing is ideal for the single handed sailor or for one with a crew with limited experience.

ReplyDeleteWe paint rustoleum on our chain with a brush once a year. Its worked for 10+ years. Paint yellow every 25 feet and white at 100 and 200 feet. Then when anchoring we go to 100 and start there usually. The short marks 25 50 75 are for ice and bay sailing in shallow waters. Try this, it's easy and cheap and works. Paint about a 12" section so its easy to see when chain is bouncing out. Peek 1 pint if each color and foam brushes to do the yearly touch up.

Thanks Hayden. We have the chain marked almost exactly as you describe. The problem is, it's one hell of a long way from the bowsprit to the cockpit. The issue has been boat handling and in my situation, I have to assume I'm a single handed sailor
