Anchor Rode and Chain from CMP

The new integrated chain and rope anchor rode from Canada Metals (CMP) is a welcome addition to ground tackle for any boat.

Canada Metals (CMP) is no stranger to West Coast boaters – most of us have been using their anodes for years. In an effort to expand their product offerings, this past year CMP management purchased Rocna anchors to complement their Titan brand chain products. These chain products are industry-leading corrosion-resistant hi-test steel with a surface hardened treatment for long life. They make an ideal chain element for a chain and rope anchor rode combo. The chain gives weight to the rode to keep it close to horizontal and holding while the nylon rope adds stretch and give so the anchor set is not weakened in winds or swells.

To make this marriage more complete CMP engineers have developed a fully integrated anchor rode with nylon rope, which is factory spliced to a suitable length of Titan chain. This splice is precisely constructed so it feeds cleanly through the windlass gypsy without hesitation, making an easy transition from chain to rope.

CMP offers two common rope-chain combinations with rope diameters of one-half or five-eighths rope and in lengths of between 165 and 320’.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
