RE: Sampson Post & Capstan

" So as the boat moves around it the rode could catch on the exposed fluke and lever the anchor out of the bottom. "

And with the extra large area of the exposed fluke , a slight chain wrap would be really secure.

I would treat a Northill just like a Danforth , use a stern anchor 100% of the time .

But that's how we anchor 99% of the O-nites anyway.
