But seriously though, folks, the fisherman's anchor

Dear Ken,
I just noticed you needed another post to take your thread past the 100 mark.

Err, that's not a barcode on the Fisherman, is it?

Nope. It's the address of a quite decent pub fairly close to the makers, Tennemast of Troon. Designed by Ian Nicolson, for those who have any boaty soul....

Next....?

RobbieW's - 'The stainless shackle.'

Again, nope. It's galvanised/bright. Certainly not stainless. I think. No, I'm sure - those are kept somewhere else in my 'Aladdins Cave' of a boat shed.

The galvanic corrosion round here goes on between the ears.....

Those leaves could do with being raked up

You're not wrong, my good Sgeir. However, I'm waiting for the other half of this year's crop to descend - which they may well have done by this time tomorrow - so's I don't have to do the job twice.....

Back to GMac - his great contribution to anchor threads recently has been 'balance/balance/balance' ie no point in a 10,000lb holding power anchor on a 4000lb rode attached to a cleat/post that will pull the boat apart at 2000lb.............and, linked to that ( /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif), quality in components. He also distributes anchors........but I will leave him to respond there.

I reitterate - what works for you, or others, is important but only in context. Without the context is could be downright dangerous where assumptions start creeping in.

Quite right and absolutly right. Balance and horses for courses all the way.

Cutlass's and rifle thingys?? You lot planning on invading us again? Been there and got a few eaten last time. I think we've stopped eating people now though /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I hope I'm guessing wrong when saying- did all 3 of those anchors come off the same boat?? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
