The Complete Book addresses anchoring systems, techniques, and
permanent moorings for boats from twelve feet to eighty feet in
length. It covers monohulls, multihulls, light displacement
sail-boats, cruisers, sportfishers, passagemakers, and workboats.
In short, it is for all recreational and working boats in this size
range.
The book deals not only with anchor behavior, but also with the
rode assembly, riding stoppers, and the human factors. What
formerly was thought of as strength through size (heavy anchors and
large rodes) has been refined to decrease weight, lighten loads on
the boat, and reduce difficulty in handling.
The revised second edition introduces some new ground tackle
components that will assure the ground tackle system retains
compatible strength and performance. Two interesting rode design
changes have been added: the use of galvanized High Test chain,
which can relieve the weight in the bow of the boat and improve
performance, and the use of direct rope-to-chain splices in a
combination rode to replace the bulky and heavy anchor shackle
joint of old. Also added are three new anchor designs: Barnacle,
Bulwagga, and Spade.
