Bow Fairleads

[William Fergusson]

I wish to keep my NC33 on a mooring but only have a single bow roller and the fairleads do not take heavy enough warp. What options are there for a second bow roller or purchasing wider fair leads. The NC 331 seems to have wider and heavier fairleads, where can you purchase them.
Any thoughts please?

Force 4 sell a pair of SS fairleads for £48 that will take a hefty 18mm rope

Given the windage and mass of your N33, how heavy of warp do you need?
If the overly large warp is on the mooring could you loop a smaller line and make a bridle to existing fair leads?

If for long term storage with gales and storms likely then maybe pull the anchor and lead additional line through bow roller, but i think a bridle arrangement much better.

Also a riding sail if she hunts in strong winds?
