Testing Anchors
If you give it enough rode the pull is linear. That's why.
You'd need a LOT of rode and it still would never be truly linear, Bob.
Even then it would never cover the shock loading due to long swells
combined with high wind. Did the tugboat back off then charge forward?
The test with a tugboat defines the anchor's abilities to some extent
but does not in anyway equal real world tests in various conditions.
The fact that Jeff found the anchor deficient in real world use means a
lot more than Teddy the Tugboat pulling on a 50-1 rode.
