Dont beach your boat or PWC on the rocky shore or sand!!
Beaching your boat allows strangers to steal your expensive ski equipment from your
boat. Beaching your boat or PWC can put dings in the bow as waves can bounce your boat on the rocks!! Worse, is the tide can go out and leave your boat beached on the shore, or the tide can come in and cause your
boat or PWC to drift away.
WE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM
The Anchor Buddy combined with the Greenfield Beach Anchor (Greenfield stake anchor with slide hammer), and your regular drop anchor, will allow you to beach your boat safely a few feet offshore, and make it easy to pull
in your boat close enough to shore to get your passengers in and out.
You dont have to swim out to your boat to get in.
How this works: You drop your own anchor from the rear of your boat and make sure that anchor is secure. The Anchor Buddy Bungee attaches to your rear anchor line. The bow line ties to the front of your boat and ties up to a sand spike (shoreline stake) or another type of tie down on the beach such as the Greenfield Beach Anchor with built in Slide Hammer. (Note that your boat or water
craft is primarily secured by your rear drop anchor, not the sand spike. The main purpose of the sand spike line is to keep the front of your boat pointed toward shore and to give you convenient access to the bow
line.) When you need your boat, pull it in. The anchor buddy stretches when you pull in your boat. When your are done, let your bowline out, and your boat goes back to where it was several yards offshore.
- Makes it difficult for strangers to steal your expensive ski equipment from your boat because the boat is anchored about 15 feet offshore Prevents
embarrassing unwanted beaching of your boat when the tide goes out.
- Prevents your boat from drifting away when the tide is incoming.
- Protects your engine because you do not have to start your boat in shallow water to move it.
- Protects your hull from getting scratched by keeping it away from rocks in the sand.
- Conveniently allows you access your boat at any time without having to push it to shore, and without having to pull up anchor, without having to swim out
to it.
- The rear anchor can be anchored all day and tied to a float with a quick disconnect latch so you can come and go at any time from your picnicking spot on
the beach.
For PWC and Jet Skis, use the mini anchor buddy for shallow water combined with a sand anchor or
screw anchor. The sand anchor and screw anchor already has a float and latch for quick disconnect to
allow you to come and go anytime from your spot on the beach.
Common question:
Q: I just bought an anchor buddy. I am curious though, how do you pull these things up when you're ready to go?
Won't they just keep stretching until you've pulled in 50ft?
A: You need to use other ropes and anchors to make this work the way it was designed. First, you let your passengers off to hold your
regular bow line rope (everybody already has this bow line). You motor backwards and drop anchor using a regular rope and snap buoy. This is dropped far enough offshore to keep your boat safely away from the shore
or rocks. Snap the anchor buddy to the snap buoy. (Some recreational lakes already have permanent snap buoys that are anchored offshore for PWC watercraft.) Your passenger pulls you back to shore with the bow line
as the anchor buddy stretches. You get off the boat and let out the bow line again. The anchor buddy tension will pull the boat back to the buoy. Then you tie up the bow line with a sand stake or sand
anchor.
When ready to do a boating run, pull in your boat, board your boat, let the tension pull you to the buoy, then unsnap the anchor buddy from the buoy and go.
When ready to go home, unsnap the
anchor buddy from the snap buoy and pull up anchor.
