The Anchor Chain Counter on your Smartphone
Keeping accurate track of the anchor chain is critical for safe anchoring.
There aren’t many options when it comes to electronic anchor chain counters. The selection is limited, expensive and need complex wiring so it’s no surprise that chains are still marked with confusing colour codes using Paint, Tie clips, Webbing and plastic chain markers!
Switch to Anchorvate for a Clear, Accurate reading. Just place on windlass and open the app!
Why ANCHORVATE?
Clear Accurate Reading
Traditional chain markers are difficult to see while the chain is deploying rapidly and virtually impossible to see in the dark!
Simple Number no confusion!
Chain Markers show length based on colours and quantity which may be misunderstood by crew or simply forgotten!
No need to mark chain
Physical markers require regular maintenance taking effort, time and cost. Paint flakes off while markers and tie clips fall off with use.
Active Monitoring
ANCHORVATE adds and subtracts all chain movements to always have an accurate reading. The current reading is shown even after the device has been switched off. The device also keeps track of the chain even if the app is not open.
No Interference with Gypsy
Physical Markers like Tie Clips or Webbing may interfere with the gypsy with the result that the chain may fall off the gypsy or gets stuck.
Safer Anchoring for single handers
Getting close to the bow roller to see markers can be hazardous in rough weather. With ANCHORVATE the count can be seen accurately in the comfort and safety of the cockpit.
