Anchoring - Oh Gawd...

[Sixpence]

I'll try and remember that , mine are Danforths so I'll make sure they're on deck and not hanging on the rollers , hint taken

Yes, that was just what mine looked like when I sold it. Except I think mine was about 50% heavier . . .

Nice pic!

The real problem when in the marina is not the anchor being on the roller, but skippers mooring selfishly, however my real objection to anchors on rollers is the extra damage it causes in an collision accident although of course it is hard to quanitfy how many incidents are prevented by quickly deployed anchors.

Look at the shackle holding it!

But don't let's get embroiled in another debate about what level of incompetence amounts to failure to take reasonable care to avoid loss.

Any anchor can bent.. mostly when using an all chain line.. that’s why the use of a snubber is highly recommended..

Don't laugh, I've seen people who have actually done stuff like that for real. Now that's spooky /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
