As I have previously
posted...

because *you* have posted something -- anything -- proves nothing at all.

what a self-centered turd you are for even suggesting such.

I see no evidence that any ground tackle found on any boat other that
something bordering a ship will support anything remotely close to
40,000#

therefore, genei clown, if *you* anchor on all chain and drag down on someone
injuring them you deserve to go to jail.

you need stretch, yo-yo. don't use all chain. unless of course you like you
sex with a 300 pound drug dealer locked in a 8' x 10' cell.

nobody has posted any documented evidence of deck hardware being
damaged solely by using an all chain rode,


they most certainly have. not here among the junior high school set, but it
has be documented far and wide, and with specific pictures.

this ain't rocket science, little boy. just ordinary knowlege for those with
an upper two digit or low three digit IQ.

there you go, genei. you WANT an anchor to move. It is called "dragging" and
it is NOT an Act of God. It is criminal negilgence if you injure someone with
your deliberate attempts to hit them by anchoring in an obviously irresponsible
way.

jail time, dood, for you.

but, genie, you don't ever anchor longer than a short to time fish, do you? In
other words, you zero point zero experience anchoring.



Doodles, the odds of YOU having any great degree of experience anchoring
in bad weather, with ANY particular set up, are in the realm of "slim to
none".

You know you have 'Ole Jax by the Speedos when he posts to himself no
less than 9 times and still hasn't provided proof... or any link to
proof.....



Uh...I'll leave having Jax by the Speedos to you, thankyewverymuch.

1/4 second, not 1/8th. one hell of a difference.

but thanks for googling for hours trying to make an unproveable point.

Oh, quite provable indeed. I'm not aware of any specific links on
Google which would lead one to the equations involving accelleration,
velocity, distance and time, but it seems like you're interested
enough to research it for yourself. I remember them from high school
physics class many years ago, so there was no need.

The relevant relations here are v=at and d=(1/2)at^2. In this case,
we're specifying a=2g and solving to get an 8 ft/sec change in
velocity. Plugging in 32 ft/sec^2 for g and my (correct) answer of
1/8th second for t, we get

v= 2*32 ft/s^2 *1/8 sec = 64/8 ft/sec = 8 ft/sec, which was the
velocity given as the starting condition.

d= (1/2)*2*32 ft/sec^2 *(1/8 sec)^2 = 32/64 ft = 1/2 ft = 6 inches.

You had originally stated that for 2 g and 8 ft/sec, stopping distance
would be 4 inches; that math was questioned. I have provided not only
the correct stopping distance but the correct time. I stand by my
math.

Not that you need my support, but you are correctomundo.

in other words, odor vader, you contributed not a thing to the discussion about
dangerously lazy sailors trying to injury other sailors.

not surprising, for you have never posted anything remotely related to sailing
in the past.
