Re: Armageddon anchor

^^ Its a steel Alan Payne Koonya. I especially like the narrow row of panels over the cockpit with roll out waterproof sides panels. Much lower windage than a targa bar, both at anchor and at sea....

Re: Armageddon anchor

^^ hard to say Uncivil, once I definitely had to much sail up, just a storm jib. She was climbing up her bow wave! She had big leecloths around the cockpit and a windgen aft.I think the problem is...

Re: Armageddon anchor

Johns BFS and three or four anchors spread out from there is probably ideal. Likely only one will be on all chain so the others need to be heavily weighted to sink quickly so they can't foul the keel...

Re: Armageddon anchor

^^ Yes all that stuff on the stern is a bit of a problem, though the furler and mast fwd is still going to be dominant, goven its height and the typical wind gradient. You should have space on your...

Re: Armageddon anchor

A perfect stern for mooring by the stern, or running with a series drogue, they are such solid boats!

Here is jordans writeup of the technique and and interesting account of a vessel that tried it...

Re: Armageddon anchor

^^ Thats the Jordon (of series drogue fame) method. It makes a lot of sense from a reducing yawing point of view. Though on most modern boats the open wide sterns would be a liability in strong...

Re: Armageddon anchor

This is my father with their fx55 for their 45 foot gaff ketch (45000lbs) and my son with his fx11. The fx55 is a big anchor, yet it is still easily lifted. A family of anchorholics!
