Pro tip for melting the end of a synthetic rope: Wind masking tape around the rope end three or four times. Light the tip and allow the masking tape to burn for a while. Once the flame melts enough of the rope, extinguish it and remove the remainder of the masking tape. The rope will have a nice, tidy tip with no knobby bits. You can also wrap masking tape around the rope *before* you cut it. Just cut through the middle of the masking tape and burn both ends as above.

[@paulsilva3346]

I prefer Heat SHRINK Tubing. As it will not unwind, then melt the end also.

[@BrassLock]

Ideal system to make life a lot easier mate. I do have one suggestion for you. Where the rope passes thru the fairlead on the boat is where its most likely to chafe and fail. I usually put a short length of flexible hose on the painter here to give it more protection and for ease of mind.

[@lyledavis1]

Hi, Marty. I did this 40 so years ago & found that I needed to attach the in line & the out line to the bow so the boat did not foul the lines. Also the lines need to be sunk lower than the outboard skeg to avoid fouling, otherwise you could find your boat in a terrible mess & unable to be retrieved. I learned this the very hard & uncomfortable way.Wish I could give pics or diags.At 79 years I am nearly past this problem, but I may need it 1 or 2 more times, hopefully. Hope it helps at least someone.

[@Rulusto]

Nice work as always. If i may share the way we do it in Norway, out there at the anchor we put a buoy on the chain. Then we put a single rope tied to the aft of the boat, through the pulley at the buoy, in to the shore and back out to the bow of the boat. Then you just pull on the rope to pull the boat either in or out. To secure it you just tie the rope somewhere ashore. And yes it can withstand storms. Cheers.

Went to the world famous New Zealand Rotorua Bath House. It was there I learned my personal limits on driving. Drove about two blocks in the city of Rotorua, parked the car. Never to drive again on the wrong side of the road again. My brain couldn't handle driving on the left side of the roadway. As a old body & fender (Panel Beater,) from the U.S. of A, I just couldn't do it. I was so afraid either I would panic, or just not realize I needed to be on the left side of the roadway. Let my daughter drive, and kept my mouth shut, eye's closed. That seem to work, at least for me.

[@ancientbuilds3764]

Seems like it's quiet enough down there to do that rig without getting propped constantly. But a double pulley is a way tidier system. In Ireland we use a concrete filled tractor tyre, with a solid chain to a bouy with an anode on it. A solid stern rope and a secondary if the main fails.

[@jonkwin9620]

I did similar, but put a out loop of rope going through pulley on each end, one pulley on mooring, one on shore. With boat tied to where rope joins, pull one rope - boat goes out, pull the other - it comes back in. A float on the join is good for finding it to tie back onto when returning to mooring.

[@Cous1nJack]

In Cornwall this is a running mooring. The easiest way is to have a continuous loop and tie into it with a rolling hitch in light stuff around the looped rope. Most people split the loop and splice loops to go around the cleats. You need breast ropes to keep the running part under control and lined up as the tide gets lower. They keep the long part near the boat.

[@iain1969]

I do a similar thing however the rope goes follows this path: Front bollard >> through ring on seaward anchor >> through ring on land anchor >> stern cleat. It effectively forms a big loop. Once the boat is positioned, to tie it off I just make a loop and tie the lines together at the stern anchor.

[@MartyT]

Nice, does it ever get twisted? When I tie both beach ends close together it tends to twist and bind up the pulley

[@iain1969]

@@MartyT I only do it when I am camping overnight (after my boat beached one time stranding me and and breaking my transducer!) so it does not have a chance to twist up real bad. I find the 6" stainless ring on the seaward anchor is pretty forgiving and does not bind up and any twists pull out pretty easy.

when i was a kid, one of my uncles lived on a lake with a steep hill that was about a hundred feet down to the water. he built a stair to get up and down the hill, and made a boat winch from an old david bradley two wheeled tractor. he poured a concrete slab with a chunk of train rail imbedded in it at the top of the hill. he removed the tires, bolted one axle flange to the rail, had just the rim on the other side, and wrapped the bow line around the rim a couple of turns to get it up and down the hill. the 3hp gas engine pulled a 16' rowboat with a 5hp outboard on it with just enough tension on the line to get it to bite like it was nothing. he just put it in reverse to lower it down the hill. sure beat a come-a-long. he said he got the idea from an old popular mechanics magazine.
