Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happy Hooking - The Art of Anchoring is a very readable book on boat anchoring. It is loaded with valuable information on anchoring tackle, anchoring technique, tying up and rafting, anchoring etiquette, as well as the occasional anecdote - simply stated a must have for any boater or sailor! The second expanded edition of Happy Hooking - the Art of Anchoring features: More gear More photos More illustrations More independent reviews Experience from both sides of the Atlantic Personal anecdotes based on many thousands of miles of sailing and countless times anchoring Unless you are far offshore, at some point or another you are going to need to 'park' your boat. Just like knowing how to stop your car before you start is perhaps the most important part of driving, we feel that anchoring is perhaps the most important skill you can and should acquire in boating. Anchoring a boat can be a lovely dance in a harbor, or a painful and often embarrassing display of Homo sapiens' inability to plan or communicate. We will endeavor to help you find a combination of tackle and technique best suited for your circumstances when anchoring your vessel. By outlining how different anchors work, the pluses and minuses of different adjunctive pieces of equipment, the current thinking about how to deploy this equipment, and how to select an anchorage, we hope you will be armed with enough information to make some informed decisions about what might work best for you. If you could take only one piece of advice from these pages with you on your travels, perhaps you will remember what Tommy Moran, an old salt in the West of Ireland, advised time and again: "Anchor as though you plan to stay for weeks, even if you intend to leave in an hour."

Book Synopsis Rigging Modern Anchors by : Drew Frye
Download or read book Rigging Modern Anchors written by Drew Frye and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rigging Modern Anchors, by Drew Frye, is possibly the most comprehensive guide ever written to demystify the subject of anchoring, especially about today's new anchors. The author, over years of systematic testing with a variety of different anchors and rigs, has produced a new benchmark for anchoring knowledge based on empirical data. Most anchoring mythology is based on anecdotal wisdom passed from one sailor to the next. Often what seems to work or doesn't work has no basis beyond the fact that it was handed down as the conventional wisdom. Finally, Frye has produced a book on anchoring that digs deeply into the how and why of anchoring. This book contains in-depth discussions of anchoring basics, loads, scope, cyclical loading and soil consolidation, discussions of bottom characteristics and holding power. There are anchor-specific observations, discussions of tandem anchors and rigging schemes, plus an extensive appendix containing data tables, test data, open source designs for bridle plate and anchor turner, Strength and toughness of different types of chain and rope, data tables on chain and line thickness, choosing connectors, extensive anchor size recommendations based on different manufacturers, and much more.Proper anchoring and anchor choice is critical to the safety of ship and crew. Instead of hoping that your anchor and rigging scheme will hold in a given situation, read Rigging Modern Anchors and be sure of it.
