nope. 10 to 1 on chain breaks the anchor loose, while 6 to 1 on nylon doesn't.

Yup, you just don't know how to anchor with chain, that's all. That's
ok, it's just one more thing you don't know about.

His "kind"? What, pray tell, do you mean by that?

Steve's a bright guy. You aren't.

sorry, dood, dem's da physics. which, of course, you don't understand anything
except you wanna kill and/or injure someone. you wanna go to jail, dood.
have fun with the 300# drug dealer, dood. you are going to be there a couple
years.


"dem's da physics" ROFLMAO Doodles, IF you had any experience at
anchoring, you'd know how stupid this response is ...... since you
don't.......

hoary, steve barely got out of high school, and his 575 combined SAT score
wouldn't get him into an open enrollment community college.

over the knee, if you should ever try to anchor and should a storm come up, do
hope and pray you don't injure someone with your lazyness. for if you do, you
will get up close and personal with a 300# drug dealer for a couple years.

I suspect Steve's SAT scores are higher than yours. I know mine are, and
I didn't do badly, and I expect Steve beat me on the math SAT. I only
got a 625 on that one.

his kind are the kind who purposely endanger the lives of others because they
are too frickin lazy to anchor properly. you know, hoary, the clowns who "drag
anchor" when in fact they purposely didn't set it correctly.


Why are you so concerned about anchoring? You've got yourself a little
puddle jumper sailboat, and I suspect you rarely leave the dock. I
sailed in Long Island Sound, too, and, other than on really stormy days,
it wasn't particularly challenging. It's not the ocean.

hoary, most people on LIS anchor properly, for the anchoring conditions on LIS.
namely, a largesh Danforth on a few feet of chain and a lot of nylon. people
who anchor on LIS seldom "drag anchor".

the people I have had a problem with are those frickin lazy *******s who use
all chain (because it runs through an electric windlass easier) and often on
too short of scope and then "drag anchor" across the anchorage hitting boats
all while claiming it is "an act of god" and not their fault at all. I was
nearly hit by two such lazy *******s in twenty minutes, one of which went on to
take out a 52 foot boat behind me.

hoary, I have sailed a number of places not on LIS. In fact, my own boat is at
this moment several hundred miles away from LIS.
