Secure the chain on the strop.
Release the chain until the strop is taut.
Pay attention to the swinging space when mooring.

RAISING THE GROUND TACKLE
Check the chain is properly set on the grab.
Operate the windlass setting it to the ‘upward’ position.
Slowly go near the anchor using the engine (do not use the windlass
force to winch up the boat).
Visually check the final metres until the anchor gets into contact with
the anchor fairlead.
Check the position of the anchor on the stem fitting.
Rinse the windlass and the ground tackle with fresh water after each
trip.
In case of electric failure, use the winch handle on the windlass to
raise the ground tackle.
WARNING
Windlass operations are dangerous:
- Always keep the ground takle clear and free.
- Always proceed with care, wearing gloves and
always wearing shoes.
- Make sure that nobody leans on the windlass when
operating the control.
