If you anchor with an all chain rode (we do), you have certainly noticed that in moderate to rough conditions, or when a thunder squall passes over, the chain comes tight and the whole boat is jarred in the waves. So that is why we all use a snubber. I cannot see how you would rig a snubber with a dyneema anchor line? Another question about using this line (I have it on my dinghy hoist for 4 seasons now.) is how would you raise your anchor? the rode can be pulled in hand over hand, but how do you pull a 40-50 pound anchor out of the mud and onto the deck if your anchor line is 1/4" or less in diameter? There is no windlass gypsy designed for that line. I think you would have to have mighty tough hands. There is one anchor rode application where this is a great solution though. The dinghy anchor rode. Here on the Chesapeake we have about a 30 foot 3/8 nylon rode on the dinghy anchor. Just throw the anchor onto the beach and the dinghy stays put. Once you leave the Bay there are places where you need to anchor your dinghy off the beach. In that application a long dinghy anchor line is needed so you can drop the anchor in deep water or outside the wave zone, and then disembark at the shore and pull the dinghy out into deeper water. 100' feet of dynema will coil up and just about fit into your pocket. It can store in the bow locker of the dinghy and does not absorb water.This can be mighty handy in places with a shallow shelving beach such as the outer banks of NC and also the beaches of FL and the Bahamas. For safety sake, in the more remote areas, having a 100 foot dinghy anchor rode is important in case the engine fails. You do not want to be swept out to sea.
