Scanmar Anchor Rescue

“I’ve had my anchor caught a few times. In anchorages where there are a lot of moorings around, or if it’s too deep to dive, I really like having a trip line, despite the potential problems it can create with people running over it.”

The Anchor Rescue works by using a slider and tether system on the anchor. When the anchor becomes fouled, a retriever is attached to the anchor rode and lowered to connect to the slider. The anchor rode is then slackened and as the retriever/slider pair moves up the anchor rode, the tether lifts the crown of the anchor.

The complete system costs $229. www.anchorrescue.com
