Steps wrote: Basically what several of us have been saying all along.. so it is possible to pull (somewhat) above the horizontal while maintaining holding. again I go back to actually put the anchor in the veggie garden...the moment the shaft/ shank, lifts off the ground, the angle of force on the blades changes, and the amount of force required to break it free reduces dramatically.....from the moment it lifts....basic high school maths and physics also. This MUST be understood when using/ choosing an anchor system. Actually go out and try it in the real world.. for get possible theory....the real physics is the same as the real world... |

Im thinking of adding a capstan at some stage so that would work with that as well. Thanks for the idea of having the rope split pete the meat. That would work well as i can join it easily when planning on deeper stuff.  Now i just have to choose a anchor!  Few people seem to love the kewene type and then the rocnas seem to get good ratings as well.?? I guess they all do the job as long as you keep a eye on them. |
