Do
you worry about the
anchor
dragging?
"A Sentinel (kellet)
is a weight typically around 25-30lb suspended
from the rode to help keep the pull on the
anchor as horizontally as possible to prevent
dragging in rough weather"
Charles F Chapman's Boater's
Bible, "Piloting, Seamanship
and Small Boat
Handling"
Feel
safe when it blows
- with Anchor Buddy anchor
weight
- Change
the angle of pull on the
anchor to help it dig in
- Reduce
the working load on your
anchor by up to 50%
(*ref)
- Dampen
all excessive boat movement at
anchor
- Reduce
boat swing considerably
When
the holding power of your anchor
is in question, you can set two
anchors from the dinghy, attach
and lower your dive belt or any
other heavy weight - the
principle is exactly the same -
but why do that when your
Anchor Buddy anchor weight can be twisted on in less
than a minute - no tools
required?
Here
is how
you can
control your
boat at anchor - have
extra
security for boat and crew, less
risk of dragging anchors, and much
more comfort on board in windy conditions
