In reply to: Capt'n Mike - TM36K Gypsy Mariner 's message, "Dolphin Striker attachment" on - Friday - 08/ 4/06 - 9:16am

Mike, thanks for your responce. AND, Thank you for pointing out that I did NOT mean the 'Dolphin Striker'. I AM refering to the "bobstay chainplate". Mine also has an extra hole. And, it (bobstay chainplate) is in fact the place the PO attached his snubber and mooring lines. The photo on this site you mentioned shows us with a bridle. It is confusing and does appear it might attach to the 'dolphin striker'. It does not. I agree, attaching to the 'dolphin striker' would put too much stress on the rigging.

We are heading south again next month. I am going thru old log sheets and notes tring to make improvements before we leave. The 'bobstay chainplate' attachment point was one of the items I wanted to check out. I wonder how it (bobstay chainplate' is secured to the hull.....?

And, I am considering an all chain bridle for high winds and weather. We will be on the waterway during the hurricane season and I am concerned about chaffing. The all chain bridle would eliminate that problem.

Thanks for your thoughts. I shall continue my search for info on the windlass. Perhaps othters here may be able to help.

best wishes,
gs

Gene,

Check out this link: http://www.svsereia.com/photos/2005/November/ph_bow.htm

This is a Mariner 36 built in Taiwan in 1979, so it must be a Tayana Mariner. This shows the bobstay chain plate removal.
Mike
