[Public-list] Anchor and Rode

[John Birch]

Never thought about one John, forgot all about 'em - while Capt Mulcaster 
did quite well with them in 1813, I think he had 32 pound carronades, lousy 
for any range though - a little too up-close and personal and definitly 
outside Rush-Bagot. Suspect they would better suite a Morgan - Albergs need 
to be fleet of foot, take the weather gauge and stand off ; )

Another good reason for all chain rode, get in too close and you can chop it 
and load it ; )

Cheers,

John
