Thinking of hurricanes and riding out storms using a storm anchor (para-anchor) ...
The main enemy is chafe. That's assuming you have invincible ground tackle and rode or a bullet proof storm sea anchor and rode.
I'm wondering if we shouldn't have a SS wire bridle made that we can shackle to the all chain rode if at anchor, or shackle the 600' of nylon rode to when using the 12' para-anchor.
Mechanically it seems really straightforward. I guess my only question is how one would attach such a bridle to the deck cleats ? Simply loop them over the cleats and secure them in place with lines or loop them in place and then somehow use shackles to keep them from jumping off ?
Thoughts ?
