overnight anchor

[jfm]

That's well posh then, like Nick's . "Why risk hitting the boats behind?" I don't think I am risking it, cos the clutch is ok. On the contrary, I'd say why take away the benefit of hearing the chain if it starts grinding on the roller, cos that's a handy wake up call that the sea/wind just got a bit dodgy. I can also weigh anchor much faster in an emergency, sans snubber. Just imho!

If you need more than this you probably shouldn't be there overnight anyway.

Do you mean in general, mobos, or those new'ish to anchoring overnight?

Sorry, the point I was trying to make is that anchoring overnight is a safe practice but if you need six times depth to hold then it would probably be so windy or rough that nobody would want to be there at all! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

We could bring this discussion full circle and ask, "Why take away the benefit of being awake to watch the boat drag by going to sleep in the first place?" ;-)
