E l' àncora mi disse..........

La formula del signore - che tiene di conto la LOA, contando su fattori di forma 'normali per barche moderne', diciamo che pare sia stata ben comprovata.

So far as the loadings on anchor rodes are concerned, there is enormous variation of advice, dependent upon the safety and other factors included in the figures. I wrote a detailed response to a similar question for YM in 2008 (see YM Any questions). In my view one of the better ones is that proposed by Professor John Knox, inventor of the Anchorwatch, whose theoretical equation is backed up by measured values. His equation is:
Force (in kg force) = (1/500) x (LOA in metres squared) x (wind speed in knots squared).
