Good afternoon
I have a 1997 Mainship 350. There are 2 cleats at the bow of this boat but nothing down the center to tie off an anchor line. I did not want the windlass to have the strain of the anchor nor did I like to be off center by using just the port or starboard cleat.
I made a 3 point bridle out of 5/8 three strand line. A loop at each end to attach to the bow cleats and an eye in the center to take a hook. I know how to use it with a hook to chain connection. What method should I use to attach it to my 5/8 inch three strand anchor line when I am too deep for chain only. I have 100ft of chain with 350 feet of three strand anchor line.
Thanks
Jim
