Auger Posted August 16, 2020 #1 Posted August 16, 2020 Hello everyone, Is there a correct way to tie this? I’ve browsed all my books and searched all over google images for an example, and if there was one, it was too low of a resolution to make out. So the image here is as close as I’ve come. I really have no idea what to do with this.

popeye2sea Posted August 16, 2020 #2 Posted August 16, 2020 I don't think the shank painter should be hitched to the anchor. It should be hitched or spliced around one timber head, pass around the anchor shank and then hitch to the other timber head. Clove hitches should suffice.

Auger Posted August 16, 2020 Author #4 Posted August 16, 2020 Shank painter. Knowing what it’s called is very helpful; I’ve seen this method depicted in my books. I was caught between my plans, my books and some photos I’ve seen online, so wasn’t really sure what to do. Looks like I’m going to have to build myself a couple buoys as well. mtaylor 1 Quote Completed Builds: AL Bounty Jolly Boat, Constructo Enterprise (logs lost in the great crash) Current Builds: Constructo Bounty, AL King of the Mississippi Up next: undetermined
