During hurricanes I use at least 2 pennants if not more. They will be
staggered in length so the first one has all the strain and the others
don't have strain or chafe until the first one lets loose. I have never
had one chafe through, but it could happen. You *must* have a swivel, I
tried to do without once and my 3/4" pennant unraveled into 3 separate
pieces. Swimming pool noodles are handy to keep the pennant from sinking
and wrapping around the chain. As was mentioned, I have to move my
anchor if I don't want it to chew through the mooring pennant.

btw - pendants are pedantic people, pennants are ropes.
