Ground Tackle Revisited

After having been put aground once because of ground tackle failure, I was determined it wasn't going to happen again, so I modified the bow to add structural strength.

As it was.

I filled in an area with West System with High Density.

And then put the toe rail back (Plasteak) and new cleats.

Then, I called a fabricator friend of mine to have a proper bowsprit fabricated and installed.

A new wench and chain stop.

After all that, I added 100 feet of 3/8 high test chain and a delta anchor along with a snubbing system (5/8" three stranded twisted nylon).
