Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchor system of or for a marine vessel such as but not exclusively for, large yachts and motor boats such as super yachts and motor yachts.
  • Marine vessels and in particular luxury vessels such as super yachts are designed with significant aesthetic appeal. Clean lines, smooth surfaces and aesthetic curvature are often considerations taken into account in designing a marine vessel such as a yacht and in particular in super yachts.
  • Anchors are often suspended from the front or bow region of a marine vessel where it may be stowed by being registered in a housing or firmly held against the hull of a marine vessel such as on a bar roller or registered in a hawse pipe.
  • the anchor is attached to the distal end of a chain either directly or indirectly by way of a rode and shackle.
  • the chain is attached to the shank of the anchor and allows for the anchor to be deployed from the marine vessel to ground on the surface of the body of water that the marine vessel is floating on, below, and allows for the anchor to be retrieved from the surface and back to its stowed condition.
  • An example of a submarine anchor system is shown in WO2012143897.
  • the anchor system of WO2012143897 allows an anchor to be stowed in/to the hull below the waterline of the hull of the vessel.
  • the anchor is to be retrieved to the hull through an opening of the hull below the waterline.
  • the retrieval system is incorporated inside the hull and allows for the anchor to remain unseen above the waterline from outside the vessel.
  • the anchor system of WO2012143897 includes a wet box inside the hull of the marine vessel that includes a mechanisms for retrieving and deploying an anchor to and from the hull of the marine vessel.
  • the wet box has an opening through which the anchor chain can pass and parts of the anchor are also able to pass.
  • the components inside the wet box as a result of being below the waterline and the wet box having an opening presented below the waterline, is submerged in water.
  • the wet box may extend to above the waterline so as to provide a second opening for the chain to pass through to pass over a windlass or other anchor retrieval winch or the like.
  • the windlass will sit above the waterline free from direct contact with the body of water in which the vessel floats.
  • the wet box can be quite substantial in size depending on the size of the anchor involved.
  • the components inside the wet box can remain undesirably wet even when the anchor is located inside or to the wet box in its retrieved condition.
  • Openings through the wet box other than where the anchor and chain is retrieved through to the hull can cause water to leak into the hull and may cause the vessel to sink. Even if such openings are able to be capped or otherwise sealed, the integrity of such sealing may not always be adequate or require regular servicing and/or surveying. However such openings in wet boxes do exist and are there to facilitate servicing of component parts of the anchor deployment and retrieval mechanism inside the wet box
  • anchor retrieval systems include a hose or jet that is able to clean the chain of any debris such as mud or flotsam that may be engaged or become engaged to the anchor chain when in its deployed condition.
  • debris can be messy and can potentially cause damage to the retrieval system, especially if the debris is substantial in size.
