RE: Getting Used to Fear

".in short, yes, you should be able to. It does not need to be a stump-pulling effort."



However the chance that you could back down far too hard for the windlass to handle is real.

When anchoring the deck claw which should be able to hold the boat in extreme conditions only takes a second to flip in., to have Zero load on the windlass.

After the boat stops from the set anchor ,another 30 ft of chain with a 15 ft LIGHT nylon snubber can be released.
