Mathematic approach to anchoring scope

[carstenb]

Great an anchoring thread - but this time with a difference.

A German mathematician(with way too much time on his hands) has turned his eye on trying to mathematically predict the best length of you rode when anchoring. Amongst other conclusions is that in deeper water, you need less rode than in shallow water and vice versa of course.

Now, I'm not a mathematician, but I can usually follow even complicated math arguments. I admit he's lost me.

So, calling all mathematicians - trying looking at his arguments and telling the rest of us if you agree or disagree or is he a guru over all gurus or does he live on another planet.

here's the link to his webpage (it is in english)
