Anchor safety

[30boat]

A friend of mine buys new sails and electronics for his boat but refuses to replace his Chinese CQR knock off.It only let me down once he says.Well the fact is he nearly lost his boat when it dragged on to the rocks in Vigo.I keep telling him it only takes once but he's stubborn as hell.Even a cheap Delta would be a huge improvement.I don't understand people's priorities sometimes.

What does he pay to fill his tank with deisel? Convince him its only a few tanks worth to get a real anchor. The other issue is that having been warned, eg as you've recounted on this forum, I wonder what his insurance company would say . . . is he prepared to have them not pay up?
Just anchor up wind of him until he sees the light . . . Andrew.

You could sneak up to it one night and paint it lurid purple, with green spots!
