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.

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.
