Hitch Hauls Anchor From Stern
May 1963…
Hitch hauls anchor from stern.
You wouldn’t have to clamber forward to cast or haul this anchor. Its line would let out from the stern through a Venetian-blind type of one-way slide.
A fixed-length bowline tied to the slide would hold the anchored boat in the usual way. To haul anchor, you’d pull forward then up.
