Good Summary

Thanks for a great summary. You folks have generously supplied a wealth of knowledge that would have taken me years to learn on my own. I will copy your post, Tom's and a number of others and keep...

On Bridles, Tackle, Skill, etc. - A Holistic Approach

Thanks a lot Tom,

I appreciate your holistic approach; it was very informative to a new skipper like me, and it makes a heck of a lot of sense. One's "chain" has to be solid. One weak link,...

Re: Anchor Size: Multihull v. Monohull

Yes, I understand. However, like one of the other posters above, I AM the windlass, and I am not a young man anymore. Pulling up even 50 or 60 feet of chain over a rocky/coral bottom is pretty...

What would you do in 120 Kts?

I do not mean that as a joke or an insult.

What I am wondering is, do you think that there would be any way to stay anchored I such a storm? I assume that the only safe thing one could do is...

Re: Anchor Size: Multihull v. Monohull

Thanks mate. Heavier and or better seems to be the consensus here.

Will contemplate all the above.

You're Sooo Barbaric ...

Mia Culpa - Re: Anchor Size: Multihull v. Monohull

My mistake, not yours. After reading my original post, I must apologize for not making clear the anchor(s) I actually own.

Re: Anchor Size: Multihull v. Monohull

Re: Anchor Size: Multihull v. Monohull

Thanks for the insights. I have two Danforths, both smaller; but my 35 pounder has served me well so far in 20 knot winds, 2 foot seas, with 50 foot of chain out in 13 foot of water. We swung 360 at...

Anchor Size: Multihull v. Monohull

I have a 40' trimaran, which draws only 3 feet for the main hull and about a foot for the outer hulls. The boat weighs only 4 tons.

Lewmar says that their Delta 35lb anchor is appropriate for...
