Brian,
When I don't want the sub to float away from shore, I run up
as far as I can and blow the ballast. Persistence sits on the bottom like
a rock. I don't have tides to contend with where I am.
If you wanted to anchor in a harbor somewhere, you would
probably be better off to have your anchoring equipment carried on your support
boat and tied to the sub only when needed. You just don't need things like
anchors hanging from a sub. You'll hardly ever use it and it's one more
thing to get entangled with.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] anchoring a
sub
Hi All,
Does anybody know the dynamics involved with anchoring a sub. Like would
a hook for a typical sailboat be sufficient? It seems to me a sub would
stay put better than a sailboat since a sub would not have any wind force on
it. But on the other hand the mass of the sub might tend to just hank
the anchor away. Unless the anchor was very secure, in which case the
sub could just go under water if there was a large swell. Anyone have
any experiance with this? Thanks,
Brian
