Andy asks about chain and the SuperMax. I have three close friends who use the Super MAX on a daily basis with all chain. They are able to anchor in mud anchorages where they had nearly always drug before. They never had any problems related to the use of all chain. I looked at the Super MAX video and then tried to contact the three "experts" who had given the commentary. They susposedly lived in Gulf Breeze, only a few miles from my home. They no longer live there. I assume that they were Navy or ex Navy types and went on to better things. I don't see a thing which should keep you from using all chain on the Super MAX anchor--why give up the convience of chain? The debate on the scope at setting may have more merit--but I still would go to long scope in storm conditions. Bob Austin
