dog leach chain.

dum-dum, you are. both the Navy and cruise ships -- when at anchor -- keep
their engines running to be used to get the hell out of Dodge should the
winds
become too strong. Also, both the Navy and cruise ships use anchors
totally
inappropriate for recreational sailboat. Navy anchors are for squat
holding,
they are designed to be easily stored.

like I said, all chain rode is for weak old men and it WILL pull the anchor
loose and/or break off deck chocks when the wind pipes up and the waves
start.
