Interesting? LOL! More like stupid. So stupid that I was inclined
to add a comment to that effect. Using an all-chain rode is tantamount
to using hemp lines and cotton sails. Duh! Hey, folks it's the 21st
century. Get with the program and lose the chain.

OMG! Skippy, you should be ashamed of yourself. That photo of your
yacht atop the above site is embarrassing as hell. The inflatable is
hauled up at a height equal to the main boom. And all the way up
to the inflatable is a Christmas tree of all manner of sordid objects
that make the yacht look like a bag lady on steroids owns it.

And the plastic water jugs blocking the side deck! So stupid. If you
need that much water get a freaking water maker. And the fenders on
the life lines? Gross and a motor boater fetish.

And, it looks like Lydia on the bow has a baby bump!

Sheesh!

No wonder you no longer sail, Skippy.

Sir Gregory still sails just back from a sail out on the bay.

With a good high pressure salt water wash down pump it shouldn't
really be needed.

Another stupid, useless system - salt water sprayers and pumps.

OMG!!!!

Does the insanity of sailing the farm, house, garage, factory
never end?

More advise from the dry land sailor.

You might have a look at the majority of the world cruising boats as a
large number of them do carry an all chain rode.....

If you ask someone who has actually done a lot of cruising they might
even tell you why.

I never found the need for one but I've talked to people that did
tried them and I gathered, from the fact that they quickly threw the
things away, that they generally were a pain in the butt.

I used a salt water pressure system for years, as Wayne's suggests,
and found it a far more effective solution than a brush.

Says the wannabe who lives ashore and keeps a motor yacht at
the Bangkok dock. Typical lubber pretending to be that which
he is not.

You might have a look at the majority of the world cruising boats as a
large number of them do carry an all chain rode.....

Because they are dumb asses who don't bother keeping up with the
times, who don't mind a bow-down yacht due to half a ton of chain
in the chain locker, who don't mind the hobby-horse pitching caused
by weight on the ends of a yacht. Stupid people who will never learn.

If you ask someone who has actually done a lot of cruising they might
even tell you why.

Doubtful as one can ALWAYS choose an anchorage where the dreaded
coral heads that chafe nylon rodes through don't exist. Duh!

So, in lieu of choosing a suitable anchorage these fools attempt
to "brute force" themselves into unsuitable anchorages where they
destroy coral. Yah right, real smart. Really really environmentally
responsible!
