yo-yo, IF you had some ham you could have some ham and eggs IF you had
some
eggs.

let us look at your useless statement.

No kidding. With no sag,

there is ALWAYS some sag, even with all nylon

Once again...NO KIDDING. I already said that.


the anchor pulls loose...something even *you*
agreed with. Since anybody with a boat can tell you that anchors
actually
work and don't pull loose ------------------ most of the time
------------------- , it stands to reason that there
must be a lot of sag in the line ---------------------- under most
conditions
----------------------. With me so far?

If there's a lot of sag in the line,

as stated above, there is ALWAYS some sag

Correct...just as I stated.



then the sag provides absorption of
shock loads...just as I stated.

but ------------------ how much --------------------------- absorbtion?
20
G's is more than the boat can take. In fact, on a 20,000# boat, 2 G's is
more
than most anchor chain can begin to hold.

It doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is that the anchor rode provides
shock absorption...just as I stated.



How much is 2 G's? it is stopping short in 4 inches when moving 8 feet per
second. Think of the wave action needed to make a boat move 8 feet in a
second. On a 20,000# pound boat that would be a 40,000# strain on the
chain,
anchor, deck chocks.

Your math is wrong.
