Spiel Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I tied my anchor on with this knot some 30 years ago, still holding. http://www.netknots.com/html/anchor_bend.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'm a firm believer in: "Can't tie knots, tie lots!" Seriously though, I make my own Sampson eye splices and use them on everything I can. Cheers, Ron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Brian to clarify my previous comment, I actually have that 30 year old knot tied to about 4 feet of heavy chain, the chain of course being connected to the anchor.
