Abstract
The anchor-retrieving system comprises a recovery harness and a lap link. The recovery harness may couple to an anchor via the lap link such that if the anchor becomes fouled the lap link may fail and a trip line of the recovery harness may be operable to recover the anchor by pulling the anchor from a crown of the anchor. The recovery harness may comprise three loops. A first loop may couple to the head of the anchor via the lap link. A second loop, adjacent to the first loop, may couple to an anchor line via rode hardware. The third loop, separated from the others via a trip line that is longer than the shank of the anchor may couple to an aperture in the crown of the anchor.
Claims17
An anchor-retrieving system comprising:
- a recovery harness and a lap link;
- wherein the recovery harness couples to a head of an anchor via the lap link such that if the anchor becomes fouled, a trip line of the recovery harness is operable to recover the anchor by pulling the anchor from a crown of the anchor;
- wherein the recovery harness is further defined as a cable;
- wherein the cable is further defined with a first loop, a second loop, and a third loop;
- wherein the first loop is a bight of the cable;
- wherein the first loop is formed by bending the cable by 180 degrees to form the first loop and by crimping a first crimp sleeve onto the cable on either side of the first loop.
