Anchor rode to chain...........

[SV Papillon]

Ok nevermind,

Google is your friend, I see this subject has come up several times on several diferent forums with the same replies, and answered most of my questions.

ABOK# 2858 ("The Link or Chain Splice")
(Brion Toss' book refers to this as the "Traditional Irony Chain Splice", on p89)

Who knew there was a "International Guild of Knot Tyers Forum"???

If only the Ashely book and apprentice were here instead of 1500 miles away on the boat!!
