Topic: Missing anchor rode attachment point

Hi all,

I have a '74 JJT Co 26 which has what appears to be a proper chain locker forward of the V berth except that I don't see an attachment point for the anchor rode.

Perhaps I'm missing something but am curious what is the "stock" arrangement for attaching the anchor rode to the boat below deck?

Thanks much,

David

I have a 1975, no. 156. I have a big eyebolt attached to the deck in the anchor locker. Nothing flashy but it works fine.

Mine is the no. 158, I don't have an eyebolt. I tie the rode on a piece of wood. The only purpose of the eyebolt or in my case the piece of wood is just to make sure that the rode don't fall in the drink. In the past i used a bucket too.

Aha, tying something to the end of the rode bigger than the opening the rode passes through makes good sense. That also makes for one less hole in the boat!

Thanks much for the replies.
