I understood the change to an 8 pound anchor rule was to make the weight uniform across all competitors and to promote safety. And I am all for that … but, here is where I disagree.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>If a Capri 25 is currently carrying a lighter-weight anchor, they could logically add chain (or more chain) to get to the 8 pound minimum weight plus greatly increase the holding power of the hook with this extra chain. This is a win-win solution. The combined weight of the anchor, chain and rode all weights the same plus the holding power is greatly enhanced with more chain. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>With the recent rule change, many owners will have to, unnecessarily, buy another anchor when the hook they already own could be easily retrofitted. This was not well thought out. In addition, there is a backhanded incentive to ditch existing chain, thus reducing the safety of the anchor. It makes no sense.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I am not sure this was talked about amongst other Capri 25 owners. I never got the impression that there was a rules “committee” involved in the decision where other points of view could be brought up. I am concerned that the lack of forethought and logic will prompt a low level of compliance.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I feel sad that it might be too late. But I hope we could somehow re-address this issue.
