così...per complicare ulteriormente
http://wharrambuilders.ning.com/forum/t ... up-tiki-26With Zest, my Tiki 26, I'm still learning, but my main anchor is a 15 pound Bruce with 5 metres of chain, then 12mm nylon spliced into it. That's very similar to Kim's setup. I also tried a 10kg Lewmar Delta,
but often it didn't bury properly as we didn't put enough load on it with such a light boat, which then caused problems when the tide changed and we swung. I'm going to sell that anchor and get a 7.5kg Delta as I think I do need one anchor that will cut into weed better than the Bruce might.
It is very inportant to use an anchor bridle with a cat, because it greatly reduces sheering about and so cuts down a lot on the anchor loading. That obviously wasn't an option with the mono and sometimes she did sheer around a lot.
The other thing I've just made but not yet tried is an angel. It's a weight you attach part way down the anchor line. It changes the angle the line makes relative to the bottom, increasing the holding power and reducing the length of rope you need out. It also greatly reduces snubbing loads. I've made one about the same weight as my anchor and another half that size to experiment with. To start with I'll attach it where the bridle joins. The idea is you can bring it aboard before you break out the anchor, so you don't make your tackle harder to haul up.
I think anchoring tackle is rather like wedding tackle. Size isn't everything, it's not so much what you've got that's important, but knowing how to use it properly ...
angel = salmone
la cosa che mi crea dubbi è che la delta da 7,5 darebbe meglio di quella da 10, perché il poco peso del tiki 26 non permette alla delta di 10 di sprofondare
che ne dite del salmone?
