Anchoring systems, techniques and permanent moorings for all types of recreational and working boats from 4 - 24 metres in length. The bok deals not only with anchor behaviour, but also with the rode assembly, riding stoppers and the human factors. What formerly was thought of as strength through size has been refined to decrease weght, lighten the load on the boat and reduce difficulty in handling. The autor has made a number of contributions to the anchoring state of the art. Among them are bow anchor roller design, chain locker and navel pipe pipe design and designs for permanent moring. Most of these designs and techniques are clearly illustrated in schematic drawings. 352 pages. B/w illustrations. Bibliography. Apendix & Index. HB. 2nd edition 1994.
