IP 35 Anchor Chain Ramp was created by hayden
We originally had a vertical windlass, SL1000, and now we have a horizontal, Tigress Lofrans, and both of these have worked very well with our chain ramp to drop and deliver the anchor chain into the chain locker. On the IP35, this deep point of the chain locker is well aft of where the chain comes into the locker, so a ramp is needed. We added this ramp using starboard and a side guide to keep it on the ramp. The ramp measures: 30" long, 10" wide and it drops 15" from top to bottom. The ramp ends right over the deepest point.
Here are some photos of the ramp, NOTE: This is while on anchor with 100' deployed, so 100+ feet remain in this locker. We carry 250' 5/16" ht chain with about 40' of the end in the second locker bottom.
Overview of ramp
Drop of ramp with chain on ramp, this never backs up, and if it does, it will fall on its own.
