Slide Presentation on Anchoring.

[noelex 77]

I found this link interesting. It is a slide presentation given by Daria and Alex Blackwell authors of the book "Happy Hooking".

With 26 pages and over 150 slides it, covers most of the basic aspects of anchoring. While we could never have an anchoring topic where everyone agreed ,but overall it seems great advice.

Another New Anchor Presentation.

This one is by Dave and Sherry McCampbell of Soggy Paws

Almost 200 pages, so it is quite comprehensive and dated November 2013 so it covers the newer anchors

I love how they refer to rocna as "genuine Rocna" and spend time on "did manson copy rocna", Rocna was far from the first of its type, wasn't even the second roll bar anchor let alone the first. I also get a small smile when I see catenary being discussed, I thought it was generally accepted now that catenary is a furphy in peak winds. You need scope, but it assists on angle of pull and its own weight, in peak winds the chain has no catenary. (On boats like ours)
