Stowing ropes.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi Friends,

This is the system chosen for stowing ropes aboard Quickie, a Hanse 320 from Norway.

This is how the ropes are stowed aboard our boat. Less elegant, but cheaper and without holes. 

How do you the ropes stowage in your boat? New ideas are welcome.

Greetings.

	On my 320, my ropes are simply laid in the aft cockpit lockers., where I also keep a can of petrol and two cans of diesel. Charles

	On Scotch Mist (312) the aft lockers are used for fenders. since mooring ropes are used when the fenders are used, they are simply laid on top of the fenders. there is also a shelf on the port side below the seat between the rear port locker and gas cylinder locker, where less often used mooring ropes are kept. spinnaker and genoa sheets etc are kept with their respective sail bags in the main port locker.

	Thanks Charles and Andrew for sharing your ideas. Might be advisable stow the ropes hanging: when the ropes are wet it's better aerated, and the order to access it is appreciable. Fenders still has enough space inside the same chest port. These or other similar systems are very comfortable, really . Greetings. Edited by Inopio - 03 February 2013 at 21:31

	I understand your point. However, your photo showed ropes being hung in the Lazerette of a 320 or 325. I would not want wet ropes to drip down inside that space, which I use to store many other things. Neither would I want them to be in the way when I am trying to remove various items. My aft lockers are shallow and watertight. The cover is just a hinged seat and therefore far easier to lift especially in any wind or sea and is much smaller than the Lazerette which comprises both a seat and seat-back to lift. Any water accumulating in my aft lockers from ropes can easily be mopped up from time to time and ropes hung in the fresh air periodically if required. Charles

	For my mooring ropes, I follow Charles's approach. To try and airiate ropes by hanging up, is in my view not going to achieve a great deal, as it is the accumulation of salt in the fibres that is going to cause more damage. This is why I coil my mooring ropes neatly and put in my small locker, or tie on the rail at the stern. BUT I do wash in fresh water and dry my ropes about 3-4 times a year, to stop the build up of salt which can be abrasive to the fibres. Well those ara thoughts.

	Mooring ropes in the anchor locker, sheets in with respective sails, ropes in a webbed nylon sack or a bucket so they breathe in aft locker. Spare cordage for emergency lashing etc hang coiled on cabin steps along with a few spare shackles & pliers for emergency Would find the hooks on first post a total pain as they would get in way of sails bags etc In the aft locker i have spare fuel cans so there would be no room to hang ropes Under way i hang my fenders on the aft wire ( looks a bit "charter boat") but convenient for single handing. However, if i was doing a really long trip they would go in the anchor locker Edited by samuel - 04 February 2013 at 17:38
