T&T: All chain rode scope question

[Bob Austin]

I have personally dove on an all rode chain in winds above hurricane force and
can confirm that the chain was bar tight, and sighting it, (clear water in the
tropics) there was absolutely no sag.   The Kelet would make no difference in
hurricane force winds.  Tanden anchors might--But do it right.  Use the proper
anchor for the bottom conditions, use an anchor appropiately sized for the
boat and conditions and let out enough scope.  There is no excuse for boats
that consistantly drag--and it is the owners responsibility to make sure that
they don't.  Dragging boats will damage other boats and docks (in some cases
recently also houses well above high tide mark).
