Just preparing for my annual fishing trip and was trying to come up with an easy solution for a quick release for the anchor. Horse trainers use a slip knot for quickly releasing horses that are tied up so I thought that would probably work. In the image below I used a wood pin that keeps the knot from accidentally untying. So all you have to do is pull the pin, then pull on the tag end and then let the tag end go. I put a few wraps around the cleat so there is very little pressure on the knot. Since most of the time there is not that much tension on this line the carabiner will be used for disconnecting. If all else fails cut the small rope. Just wonder what others might think of this. Good, bad or otherwise.
