Default Testing Anchors

According to Sloco we test anchors by having tugboats pull on them.
That's because wind, current, swells and other factors really don't
matter. Forces at sea are completely linear, just like the pull of a
tugboat.
I'd sure like to see a copy of that article Sloco has so much
confidence in. He bought it so much that he's carrying a puny Fortress
anchor to protect his dated dinosaur with the head in the v berth!

If you give it enough rode the pull is linear. That's why.

Amen!
