In Reply to: Anchor system for yak-- need ideas posted by David K on June 05, 2002 at 11:40:03:
The rope is connected via o-ring. That makes it easy to snap my anchor line onto it.
With anchor rope attached, it is a simple matter of pulling the rope one way or the other and the yak will respond (just like a slothesline). This makes it easy to position the yak to make casting easier. Especially if it's windy or there is a current involved (or both). I haven't had a chance to try out a drift sock, but I intend to first chance I get.
I hope these pictures will give you some ideas for rigging your yak. I bought the cheep stuff from the hardware store and it will probably corrode, but hey, I know where to get more. West Marine probably also carries all the hardware you need in stainless.
Good luck.
Hey Jason! Thanks for loading the pics for me.
