Just read an article by Captn Wil on MV Sanderling about his anchor experiences and perspectives.
He states that any anchors setting ability ie: burying is increased by eliminating the chain segment most of us use. He states a good replacement for the chain is a section of cable and this actually increases the anchor ability to bury.
Does anyone have comments or perspective on this. This person seems a VERY knowledgeable and experienced boater and has actually done “testing” to verify this and his other assertions.
Far be it for me to have a basis to question his assertions. Would actually be a good thing to get rid of a large weight right at the very bow of my boat.
