Grapnel Anchor - Where do you get them?
Hi There

I am looking for a grapnel anchor. The one I want is the one with the central pole and 4 bent bits of steel coming off it.

I am not looking for the folding galvanised type. I have got one of them anyway.

Anyone know where they can be found/bought.

Thanks

Gary

You get someone to weld one up for you from some galvanised pipe and galvanised mild steel rod. Costs bu99er all and not the end of the world if you lose it.

Depends if this "someone" is a mate with a welding set or an engineering business.

Does the engineering bloke know how much these would cost to knock up?

Yep I know and it's free if you want to collect.

Currently about 3m north of the boiler on the Asborg (30m) which is
5 miles South of St. Catherines IOW. Was there yesterday

For a cheap expendable grapnal;

Take a 2' length of scaffold tube. Drill one end to attach the rope / warp to.

In the other end drill 2 holes through the tube at 90 deg. to each other. Then buy 2 lengths of M12 or M10 threaded bar from your local builders merchant, plus 8 nuts.

Thread the bar through the holes half way and secure with 2 nuts at each side. The flukes can then be bent inwards to give a better hold.

This anchor costs just a few quick to make, requires no welding and is expendable.

If you do insist on a foldinf grapnel, any boat chandlers will supply them. Or just do a web search.

Hope that helps. PM me if you want any further info.

Adam
