Surely you cannot have just obtained any old anchor? We need to know! You may have missed a golden opportunity to design and make an anchor made of modern materials that would be lightweight, safe to hold in mud,sand,weed and gravel,without the usual requirement of 60 mtrs of chain!:encouragement:
That’s called a cement block and they use it for moorings, with one ton holds everywhere, you don’t even need a rope you can use a line. Instead of chain you can use a bungee for added elasticity therefore rendering a snubber useless.
Were not designing our own anchor neither. I’m afraid we already did that.
**scientifically you must account for water being circa 800 times denser then air, buoyancy is expressed through Archimedes' principle, which states that the weight of the object is reduced by its volume multiplied by the density of the fluid therefore a one-ton block of cement can become “lightweight” for being immersed in a fluid and being subject to its added mechanics. Modern and lightweight. And in “vogue” in some of the best cities around the world.
