hey bro, how to you adjust the length of the rope from the anchor to the attachment on your bow ? i.e. to meet the required scope (based on the depth of water) ? eg, if in 1meter of water and need to only have 4m of rope out, versus being in 2m of water and needing to have 8m of rope out ? Any tricks to quickly adjust the length of the total rope from bow to anchor, or just have to re-tie it off again at the bow point ? I just see this can be a pain as have to reach all the way down to the bow eyelet each time..
Hey mate great question, I personally just re-tie a second knot on the bow for a shorter length of rope. Though I always tend to be anchoring in surf conditions and even it was only 3m deep, I still put out the 20m of line. If it’s under 1m and you can stand next to your ski, then just a simple knot to hold it there for the mean time.
The chop will be coming from the direction of the wind though. Swell is a different matter. Should always anchor from the bow for sure. I wouldn't anchor so close to the beach that the swell is breaking close to me, which is maybe what you are talking about?
@@theowenssailingdiary5239 think about it mate, I'm anchored off a reef , generally surfing so wind is offshore, I throw anchor , unless I'm literally in the breakers galivanting in the white wash , I'm getting blown out to sea . If I throw a stick to my dog in the ocean, and it's offshore and especially no swell, I'm getting blown out to sea , and the anchor is holding the bow . I never anchor near the beach , i beach it or off the back of the reed
@@slabcharger7162 yep, but it doesn't matter if the stern is facing the swell does it? If you are far enough out? I guess in your case it wouldn't hurt tobanchor off the stern.
I personally keep my retrieve line on board the ski that way you can just pull yourself towards the anchor rope and pull it in
I like that professional edit at the end
A Diagram might be the go ro explain the basics, and another diagram to explain the "retrieval float" system.
Thanks, great vid. What would you recommend for anchoring if reef fishing? Would your offshore anchor still work?
Nice job!

Exactly my question

Even tieing from the bow, if the wind is offshore or outgoing tide or both.the ski will be facing the shore not the oncoming waves

I also went from a Kawi to Yamaha
I’m trying to figure out the wrap on your ski where can I get it thanks
I think you are referring to the traction turf. He has a video of him installing it here ua-cam.com/video/Tq-JPODZu9s/v-deo.html
Came here knowing nothing about anchoring my new ski. Left here still knowing nothing.
Not clear
That’s fine, What part would you like some clarity on George ?
I need a translator please, australian to american!!! Ty
