    The corporate "maritime world" is the most irresponsible, careless and lawless thing people and sellers and customers think they can do anything they want there, so we rather have to bring the sail back and open sailing communities to detach from individualistic, nationalistic, credit scammed ,insurance scammed ,etc boating tourist product

    Besides we have to bring awareness to remove these engines as soon as we can, they also are a danger because people are too dependent from them

    We rather need to get out from the woods and reclaim the coast and open community moral values

    These anchors are the current standard of regulated anchoring, all crew are trained to use them.

    On the other hand sailboat anchors are a microcosmos scam area where they don't even bring manuals and people just drop the chain making circles of destruction and getting dragged while they go to marinas because lack of safe anchoring and mooring techniques and equipment.

    If i remember the difference between a delta anchor and its modification known as sarca Excell anchor is mostly the sharper end

    In all anchors the sharper the claw the best penetration in sand and everybody can modify an old delta to make a sarca replica

    However the only "best sailboat is the sailboat you can beach and tow uphill to safety and avoiding marinas

    We used the snorkel system to set anchors in ships. I always volunteered when the depth was over 100 feet. As you say, single anchor with chains are a lazy, dangerous and destructive thing. I ALWAYS snorkelled down with at least two anchors. That is, in good weather. When we expected a storm, I snorkelled down with three anchors. Canoe anchors are, as you say, very underrated. We anchored with them in several ships I worked on. They used to have those humongous ridiculous ship anchors. I laughed at them (Ha Ha Ha) and showed them that canoe anchors are the proper gear. In storms, like you recommend, I would station a ship's boy with a bucket and a spoon to apply water every 17 minutes to the anchor rhode. He would get whipped if the timing was incorrect.

    Endangered coral reefs are the ones that hold anchors the best.

    How do I find information about "The Adastra boat has a water ballast stability system that tunes the water tanks with swell wave height"?

    What is shuttelworth?

    Thank you!

    Shuttleworth is a guy living in isle of wight and I usually mention him because while english speaking designers have culturally appropriated Polynesian multihull design at least this designer speaks about safety concerns regarding multihulls and adastra is a fine multi passenger boat design however marketed for despots

    The Adastra design could do good boat transportation between islands,etc even with sails but he has wasted the design as a "luxury" product

    I have tried to find that water ballast information however i think i read in some specific page or text and he doesn't advertise it, however it seems more like a "elitist" marketing claim however has it's own merits
