hey squat-for-brains YOU were the one claiming that all-chain rode is
appropriate for a sailboat because cruiseships use all chain.

using all chain on a sailboat is as criminal as driving a car drunk. you know
better but you are just too lazy to do better.

A ship's engines are not running when at anchor, and I believe YOU
were the dipsquat that brought "ships" into the mix with your stupid,
uneducated statement that they keep their engines running.

so, *why* are you comparing a ship manned 24/7, with engines running, to a
recreational vessel?

again, all chain rode is for old men, and those afraid of the water.


G I think you are trying to say ... they anchor in open "roads" with
a 10# Danforth on three thousand feet of dog "leash" chain.
Actually, you don't see too many of the old "Baldt" stockless anchors on
ships anymore. Generally what you now see is something which looks
similar to a heavy "Danforth".
The average number of "shots" carried, varies but 11 is a good average.
(Jax heads for google to find out the length of a shot).
G Later, dipsquat.
