What is a ring mooring, multiple anchors in a circle? If so, how
many?
Two 48" diameter cast iron manhole cover frames or rings, one on
top of the other sunk into the bottom. Each one weighs about 400
pounds.
I don't get it. First, two 4' diameter manhole covers. Where'd you get
them? Second, how'd you move them to site? Third, .5" nylon is trivial
compared to the holding power of that anchor. It's silly to use TWO
manhole covers and .5" of rode when one cover would hold to the point of
the nylon breaking. I'm presuming a sand bottom rather than oyster or
limestone. The cover sinks over time like a mushroom.
Lastly, if there no buoy, how do you recover the rode?
