Well done Vyv Cox - PBO No. 718

Plum said:
An excellent article by Vyv on anchor chain, page 64, and an even better letter on page 12 correcting the "expert's" statements in PBO No. 717 about DZR brass.

Thank you very much. The latest edition has yet to arrive on Readly so I did not know those articles had been published.

Returning to sailing now I am retired I will visit the library and read the article.

Thank you for the notification.

I think you may be mis-stating the fair use clauses! Copying an article in a paid magazine and then republishing it on the internet on the basis that it is educational is probably not going to fly.

I expect you may get banned for doing that! Roger could just buy the magazine, like others do - he now knows there is at least something of interest in there. Afterall the magazine publisher keeps this site running!

I would buy a copy if I could but due to exchange rater no one imports PBO these days
 
I read it, along with many other magazines, on Readly. Unfortunately there seems to be a delay between publication of the paper version and the digital. Still waiting to see the response to my letter from the originator of the nonsense.

You won't like his response. Probably worth waiting for it as it might influence what you put in your next article.

Its possible that it was written by Trump!
To paraphrase "Vyv's a smart guy, but nobody's ever told me I was wrong before. Bronze is good because manganese is good. DZR has no manganese, it does have arsenic which everyone knows it toxic, so it can't be good. I'm not talking about Blakes. I'm talking about ball valves with shiny balls. Could be anything that makes them shiny, and who knows whats underneath the shiny. Different metals in salt water is bad. Everyone knows that. Perhaps things are complicated. Certainly they will sound like it if I mention stray electrical currents".
 
Good summary supporting my observation in post#6 about levels of ignorance. I have given up on it now and am really glad ben was not available when I needed a surveyor!
