[Rhodes22-list] Spade Anchor Alert

[Bill Effros]

The nut securing the bolt that holds the 2 parts together fell off on some guy's boat in New Zealand, and the bolt slipped out of the anchor.  The boat grounded, and apparently broke up.  There is now a cotter pin hole to keep the nut in place.  Make sure your anchor has one, and use it.

Bill,

I just went to the sailmagazine.com site and didn't see the article. Can you
tell me more about it? I've been considering a Spade anchor for our Tayana
as they seem to be held in high regard by cruisers.

Michael,

Did you see the Spade anchor alert on page 18 of the June Sail Mag?
