T&T: Anchors

[Roger Bingham]

Hi All

Earl Hinz book is excellent - here is a concise article on anchoring with a
New Zealand perspective-

< http://www.petersmith.net.nz/boat-anchors/anchoring-in-2007.php >

NOTE: I believe that Peter Smith is the designer/inventor of the Rocna!

In these waters (France & UK) we have some of the biggest tidal ranges in
the world - 7m (23 feet) today.
All chain rodes (if you can carry the weight) is preferred.

In the above article a photo shows a stainless steel shackle between
galvanised chain and galvanised anchor.

Could there be a problem with galvanic corrosion here?
