karl, Spectra comes on spools and is sold in various sizes in fishing tackle
shops. I wouldn't worry too much about Spectra cutting through a metal chock in even an extended storm. If *you* are worried about that happening, use braided line to parcel and serve, because braided line had much less stretch, and you are using the braided line as a safety line, aren't you? besides, put the wormed, parceled, served with Spectra line inside the fire hose you recommend the line first has to "cut through" (your term) the fire hose ("arguably the finest chafe gear available" according to you) and THEN cut through the metal chock and THEN through the boat's deck and THEN through the boats hull to finally make the boat come free. If all that happens, karl, you just gotta figure when your number is up your number is up. God is just out to get ya, dood. |

I've yet to find a Spectra "tube" - I've seen them made out of
karl, can I ask you a question? do *you* know what worming, parcelling and serving means? Exactly? It's history goes back a long ways. If you want, I can explain it to you. just ask. |

sorry if English is confusing to you guys. the use of the term "in use just a
few just years" in the context in which it was used ***CLEARLY*** indicated "in ------------------ common ------------------ use just few years." geesh, are you really that dumb or are you just being assholes because you have nothing to contribute and you like being assholes? If you really do lack even ordinary intelligence you have no value in this or any other discussion and should start each post with a disclaimer saying such. On the other hand you have nothing to contribute and you like being assholes you also have no value in this or any other discussion and should begin each post with your name so the ng can ignore your posts immediately. nos pam, go away.

junnie, when you are an asshole -- and you, junnie, are a flagrant example --
you, junnie, can expect that people will point out your, junnie's, asshole behavior. you, junnie, have never contributed a single item of value to this ng at any point. you, junnie, lack the native mental candlepower to contribute anything of value, and you, junnie, use your asshole behavior to try to cover up your abject stupidity. go stand in the corner, junnie. adults are in a conversation.

Anyway, like I said, all chain rode has been in common use for decades. I suspect mainly because it holds so well. -- ~/Garth - 1966 Glastron V-142 Skiflite: "Blue-Boat" "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." -Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows |

I suspect mainly because it holds so well. a.) all chain rode only became popular on recreational boats when boat owner got old, fat and bought boats big enough to need need anchors over 20#, and b.) all chain doesn't hold very well at all in a blow. If you doubt that, check the anchorages during and after the next blow, see which boats dragged -- due to an "act of god", of course -- and which did not. then check to see how they anchored. NObody chains a boat to a dock or rock onshore. why would anyone chain a boat to a rock under the water? (ans: they don't. they fully expect their anchor to drag.) |

Wow, stating facts and offering some helpful speculation makes someone
an asshole these days? I had no idea. you still have no idea. junnnie has never once stated a fact correctly (even by accident) and his off-the-frickin-wall "speculations" came from reading comic books as an adult. junnie is almost as dumm as box-of-rocks jeffies, but jeffies has a wife to watch over him to fix a whole bunch of his particularly stupid mistakes. |

A "blanket" statement, you obviously can't back up with experience and show that you are unaware that there may be various causes for a boat dragging which have little to do with the all chain rode. otn |
