That method of attaching the chain to the tripping end and securing the chain to the proper end of the anchor with cable ties has always worried me. If the cable ties snap the anchor will unset itself and drag.

Next time I see you I'll cable tie you to your boat.... they are really quite strong and hard to break unless you really really really try very very hard.... really ;)

Boatworld are a real bricks ‘n’ mortar establishment plus an online retailer. Some good kit and keen prices on lots of boating goodies.

Have recently branched out into more boats, ribs and inflatables, most of which are Chinese copies/origin.

Their air V deck range is a blatant Honwave copy and they look ok and pretty smart. Having seen them in the flesh I would say the overall build and quality of fittings fall somewhat short of the Honwaves, although above average for many of the Chinese offerings. Bearing in mind the cost is not that far off the cost of a Honwave (some good discounts to be found) then after you factor in resale values, any initial savings would seem less attractive.

Good but not as good as the Honwaves IMHO
