I didn't want to hijack the other two anchor threads ongoing, but some one has to say it:
Who better to undertake such a project than us..... the unbiased, completely objective membership here on TF to attract a University grant to do research using the proper sized, randomly selected anchor styles with designated rode or chain sizes and certified tension meters installed. Anchor location bottom specimens can be sent to be analyzed with wave, current and wind data, all to compile an "average" of holding strength and ''average'' reset-ability in "types" of bottoms in "types of conditions in North America. Australia membership would follow suit, then South Amerida, Europe, Asia, etc., forming the World Recreational Vessel Anchorage Authority!
