looking for a grappling hook

[Uncle Pug]

From West Marine online

We have several home make grapples and other anchors we find but this is the one I use on my Whaler since it stows nicely, does a great job and doesn't leave any rust on the deck.
Here is a picture of it stowed:

I have the hook Pug pictured from West Marine. I don't recall the weight off the top of my head. I used to use this grappling hook to secure my bow when anchoring on Block Island. A buddy of mine recovered a full size anchor and gave it to me - I just use two full size anchors for this purpose now. My grappling hook is collecting dust in my basement if you're interested. I can weigh it and offer a price.

An additional benefit to the folding grappel pictured is that at the end of a boat dive we can fold the grapple up so that it doesn't re-hook. This makes it easier to retrieve later. Of course it is a good idea to know where the wind and current will take the boat and be comfortable flying the anchor.

Thanks for the stories Uncle Pug. They were great!
