In addition to the advice you'll get on trawler-list, you might also check out Nigel Calder's suggestion in his book on Boat Maintenance - I think that's where I saw it. He recommends attaching the nylon line to the chain with a rolling hitch - he says it's never slipped using that hitch. He also has some suggestions about the length of the nylon snubber, etc. (I have my book on my boat, or I could tell you exactly.) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> M/V Sanderling Email: rmcleran@ix.netcom.com Hampton 35 Trawler Currently docked: Pt.
