I'm sure most of you guys know how to rig a danforth style anchor backwards.. for those that dont, drill a hole behind the flukes(on center) and attach your Clevis there, run your chain forward and secure along the way with tie wraps or light sisal or cotton twine..if the anchor gets stuck, the weak ink breaks and you haul your anchor up. Backwards, I've never seen an anchor so stuck it couldn't be freed using this method..an anchor ball and haul ring takes the danger out of anchor retrieval, even in a small boat.

I agree ... zip-ties are an anchors best friend, or rather the captain's.
But during my last fiasco, zip tie or not....it wasn't happening. Hard to explain, but that old rope was tied around each tine, and twisted. My zip-tie was gone, and the anchor was backwards, but that rope was so darn twisted that it made no difference.
I've also seen the anchor ball in action...just never felt I'd ever need something like that, I guess I just didn't want to sacrifice any more real-estate than I have to... an 18' er gets small really fast. Perhaps I need to rethink things...
In my best Corona-guy voice....
"I hardly anchor, but when I do....I get that biitch stuck good"....  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

I am slow learner I guess. Can't picture this...
Anchor ball is very good idea/solution, one I have never carried, though. We don't have ripping currents like Quick's Hole, locally |
