boy, a bunch of worthless sailors you guys are. such short sticks you are
reduced to claiming that *your* boats ARE JUST LIKE steel freighters hundreds
of feet long, burning bunker oil, fully manned 24/7/365 with several millions
of dollars of electronics, always ready to set to sea at the first sign of bad
weather approaching.

admit it, dude/ettes, you require an all chain rode on your boats because you
are too weak to lift a 35# anchor and electric windlasses don't work so well
with nylon.

geesh, putting yourself and your boat in danger just because you are a bunch of
old farts too weak to sail anymore.

Well, you should inform the Navy and the cruise lines.

A windlass wouldn't work very well on your sailboard, so that might explain why
you are unaware that with proper technique nylon rope hauls very nicely indeed
with a windlass. Usually, two or three turns around the drum is sufficient. An
extra wrap or so will do the trick if it is not.

One does not (should not) use the windlass to break the anchor free.

With proper technique, the nylon will haul
without any problems at all.

not according to those clowns who endanger human lives by using all chain
rodes.
