Anchor rode locker

May 02, 2024 by Lukasz Kumanowski

My original plan was to install rigid divider in the locker, to separate oars from anchor rode. I started building it but half-way changed my mind.

Instead I decided to make a bag which will keep flaked rode and protect the locker from wear. I used rubberized polyester canvas with transparent “window” at the bilge - feature which will enable seeing under the bag, for whatever reason.

This material is a bit stretchy so I could span it between both ends, to keep it neat.

Front side is closed, to prevent chain from falling into mast foot, aft part is open - to drain water into the bilge.

It keeps 50m of rope and 10m of chain within boundaries and clear of oars. I’ll see if that works in practice.
