When a ship anchors, the anchor isn't what holds it. The chain does. The crew lets out several times more chain than the water is deep. Most of it lies along the seabed in a heavy curve. That weight absorbs the ship's pull and keeps the pull on the anchor horizontal, so the flukes dig in deeper. If the chain is too short, the pull turns upward. The anchor breaks out of the seabed and the ship starts to drag. In a storm, that's how ships end up on the beach. That's why, when the wind rises, the crew lets out more chain.
We stumbled across an unusual find at the Miami Boat Show - a paddle-wheeler! The Paddle Qwest 16 is actually a pontoon boat paddle-wheeler. So it's doubly unique, since it can be powered by either pedaling or by electricity. And yes, that IS a solar panel you see on the stern. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/07/2014-paddle-qwest-pontoon-boat-first-look-video/ Read the full review: http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/06/paddle-qwest-16-pedal-way-fun/ For more boating videos, visit http://www.boats.com. boats.com features boat reviews, how-to videos, special features, and information about new boats, boats for sale, and boating products—usually with a dash of fun.
