Hey Chuck, thanks for sharing your set-up.
That chain is loaded from the dock either by hand or with the use of the windlass, no big deal, you’re just feeding a few meters at a time and don’t have much weight there because the ends are resting on the dock and inside the locker. I’m glad all rode works for you. I come from an 8-year voyage around the world and I have seen too much, but that’s my problem. Experience will have limiting effects on your decisions. I know the whole catenary theory and everyone is in agreement, but in the end I still go all chain. I also take anchoring very seriously, another side-effect of experience. I’ve seen many accidents, a few beautiful boats lost, and my boat was hit by others who dragged, on 2 occasions, one resulting in multiple fractures of my friend’s leg as he was trying to fend off a fishing trawler whose rudder was being lifted 10 feet out of the water… 60 knots of wind and 3 meter waves in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. I’ve also seen many of those that as soon as the hook hits the bottom they’re in the dinghy looking for the pub. Also, I’m planning to go to Newfoundland and up the coast of Labrador. Those are wild places with deep anchorages and strong catabatic winds. My set-up will let me sleep better at night, and in those isolated bays I don’t have to worry about others dragging onto me either. To me the right ground tackle and the right anchoring technique are the best insurance for your vessel. To give an example, in Fiji we had a very bad storm one night (always at night), 8 boats were lost, 3 managed to sail out of the pass in 50 knots, and 2 boats managed to re-set their anchors, one of them being me. Only one stayed put, an Ozzie who paid out 600 feet of chain. He wasn’t even there, he had left for Australia but his yacht was safe even in his absence while others with crews onboard ended up on the reefs. Trust me, stuff like that gets to you, and you’ll soon see why sailors are obsessed with their ground tackle.
