We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

You're anchored.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Advantages:
-no extra stuff to purchase
-no holes in your bowsprit
-easy to deploy

Disadvantages:
-chafe on the sprit and whisker stay turnbuckles (but this isn't much in moderate conditions when used for weekend anchoring. Besides, it's a junk piece of line you're using: if it chafes through, use another. That, or install extra chafing gear.)
-doesn't entirely eliminate snubber rub on bob stay, but rub is only audible when boat is sailing around on anchor (i.e. is a vast, vast improvement over nothing at all.)
