4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent anchoring book, readable, practical, October 30, 1997

By	ctlow@cybertap.com (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

Mr. Hinz's The Complete Book of Anchoring and Mooring contains a great deal of detailed information that I didn't even know I needed to know. How much more there is to anchoring than dropping the hook and letting out some line! As well as the basic techniques, he covers heavy-weather anchoring, with some fascinating case histories, and also goes into great detail about the different types of anchor, and about bitts, winches, rope and chain rodes, and rode lockers. Mr. Hinz writes well - the book is easy to read, and he manages to convey the technicalities in accessible, layman's terms. This is a very practical, interesting, useful book for anyone who is serious about anchoring well and safely. Charles T. Low

3.0 out of 5 stars Out of date, April 23, 2006

By	Anchorsmith "Anchorsmith" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Book of Anchoring and Mooring (Paperback)

Not bad and a good resource from a respected author; however there have been some big moves forward in anchors in recent years, particularly in the small boat / cruising yacht area that this addresses.

Anchor types such as Spade, Bulwagga, and Rocna have made the traditional plows, claws, and Danforth-types all but obsolete.

A revision that devotes a chapter to these newer designs is badly needed. In the meantime be sure to take note of what is missing.

By	Jason Heiss - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm just getting started boating in the Pacific Northwest and I felt a lot more comfortable with anchoring after reading this book. Tremendous detail about the subject.
