If your anchor has fouled another boat's chain, or if another boat has laid their chain over yours, then here is the solution for setting you free. Simply grab the fouled chain with the Trip-Hook and lift it clear of your own anchor.
Useful to have on board your own boat or to take with you on a charter holiday.
Watch the Trip-Hook in action at the London Boat Show - 2007
Features
Light weight (220g), so easy to take on your charter holiday.
Heavy enough to sink, even if 'floating' lines are used.
Strong enough for adverse conditions (tested to over 1 tonne load).
Very high spec light alloy.
Strong and will not rust.
18mm diameter holes so they can accept most lines that you are likely to have on board without needing a shackle.
Extended arm assists grabbing the chain in the first place and upward slope helps to retain it.
The trip-line hole is located to allow the hook to be steered towards the chain and keep the hook 'open'. It is also located so that it requires a modest pull to activate the trip action and therefore minimise the chances of an accidental 'trip'.
Size approx 200mm x 150mm (8in x 6in).
Reviews
“I have used your trip hook with great success many times in Greece when idiot charter boats drop their hooks right over ours. Many thanks for supplying such a brilliant device”. Fiona
“The Trip-Hook worked great several times for us last summer in the Mediterranean. It saved us time and energy compared with other methods of unfouling the anchor. In one incident we had 50 or more people watching and the whole harbour burst into cheers!” ER
“I watched someone release their fouled anchor in Turkey last week with what was clearly one of your products and was very impressed.” AD
