Sv Garulfo
Hi all, On the Amel 54 there is a pair of of downward facing hooks on the bow roller:  Do you know what they are for? How do you use them? Best, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Fakarava, French Polynesia |

Hi Thomas,
I use this hooks for placing/locking the anchor „rope“ - to relieve the windlass. The first loop is on the big towing cleat, the other end (with a thimble + shackle) on the chain - going over the rubber wheel. If you do not use one of the hooks, the rope will shave on the genua foot - not for long ;-). I do not know if this is the „Henry Amel“ purpose of this hooks, but for me it makes sense and works well. Best regards Stefan A54-119 Lady Charlyette - still in Porto Santo (I will give you a feedback for your mural painting at the end of the week.) |

That looks very complicated.

We have one line, 24-30 mm diameter, with a spliced eye that fits on the center cleet, and then a fixed lengt with a hook in the end. Hälsningar Ann-Sofie Svanberg 18 okt. 2019 kl. 16:56 skrev Stefan Schaufert <mail@...>:
