All chain rodes have been used and reasonably popular since long before
you started going to boat shows.


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.

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.

JaxAss's boat doesn't have enough forward flotation to handle an
all-chain rode.

What, me worry?
