On Murphy's Lawyer, I have use a bridle for a couple
of reasons, One to take the load off the anchor
windless, and two, to keep the boat from swinging
aroung the anchorage. I use 60 feet of 1/2 inch nylon
with a chain hook at the center, I have spliced eyes
into the ends of the line so they can be led through
the haws pipes and then to the sampson post. I often
anchor in fairly deep water here in the pacific north
west, and carry 600 feet of chain backed by 200 feet
of nylon and a 45 pound cqr. Even though Murphy
weighs in at around 32000 pounds, I don't think that
there would be much strech in the 1/2 inch nylon.
Just my 2 cents.
