Why do loads of boat have there anchors and chain on the ground when on the hard.
We lower our anchor and chain for two reasons. First, it's easier to detach the anchor and stow it away to reduce the likelihood of theft. Second, I expect the rain to wash the salt off, which I have assumed is beneficial.
For some lightweight boats it may also be helpful to reduce uneccesary loading on the hull when support has been reduced by coming out of the water.
Would have thought it was far easier to steal, just sat in a heap on the ground.
I'ts habit, yer park the boat 'n drop the hook.
Maybe, but there's nothing wrong with that. We all learned to speak by emulation, didn't we?Bet folk do it just because they saw some one else do it

Bet folk do it just because they saw some one else do it and it's become a bit of a fad.
Well nothing so far convinces me that leaving the anchor and chain on the ground for month after month, is a good idea.
Well, I didn't pretend to convince anyone, just threw in my 2 cents, since you asked.Well nothing so far convinces me that leaving the anchor and chain on the ground for month after month, is a good idea.
I think it must be some sort of ritual.
