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.

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.

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.

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

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!

As I said many years ago, I'm here and you never left.

Silly boy. Most cruising people don't sail such a tiny boat that it
can't carry any cargo. My last sail boat carried more than, "your
fabled 1/2 ton, of water. In fact, more weight in water then in anchor
chain.

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

ALWAYS? Alas, your lack of knowledge is distressingly evident.

I really hate to destroy your fantasy but in much of the tropical
waters in Asia coral is everywhere. Your fantasy of a lovely coral
reef that one must protect is just that.

Unfortunately , cuddling up with the SAILING magazine and your boy
friend doesn't make you a sailor.

No Cuddles, Skip has far more sailing experience than you. While
you've huddled there in S. Florida playing "hide the salami" with the
local boys, Skip has been out there sailing here and there.

OT, but Neal started it:

I used to have a high opinion of your skills, but it's obvious you've never
considered an open-web flywheel, or a golf club, for that matter.

Weight at the ends of the relatively-linear mass inhibits motion, as it
takes much more effort to get it moving. Granted, it continues to move more
than it would if all the mass were centered - but this same continuation of
inertia is why the reverse motion will be damped unless the period just
happens to be perfect, which is unlikely - but if all the mass is centered,
rotational effort is eased, making shifting back and forth between up and
down in the ends in the vertical perspective (hobbyhorsing) much easier.

As to the all-chain vs nylon, if the bottom is mucky, your lightweight rode
will carry a lot of gunk up as well, and this device would do the same
cleaning job on IT. If you're in clean sand, likely either rode would not
need much attention...

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.
