How not to lock your anchor

This lock would come off in seconds if some scallywag wanted to steal this anchor. The Captain who left it there must be a total cnut!

Rat anchor, thieves wouldn't look twice at it

it's fine, the picture's cropped - it's next to a brand new carbon anchor.

How long did you stand there looking at the anchor before you thought to take a picture and post it on here? If you took the photo at all.

Pathetic security. You just know that some thief is going to have it aweigh.

least he was wise enough to take anything easily removable away with him. like the boat.

He doesn't even need to cut the lock - it lifts right off!

You should always secure your anchor to a designated sheffield anchor locking point, itself securely cemented into the ground.

Literally begging for some rudebuoy to pinch it.

They've used what looks like the world's biggest friction shifters to wrap the chain around it.

Anchor looks like Popeyes occasional accomplice

unbelievable! someone could easily just sail away with that......

Ooh I'd love that. Pop a spok on it and it'd make a great HHSA.

Now, now, we don't want any rancor in this thread.

On the other hand, this princess is very nicely locked up.

What a carrie on.

I had to use Wikipedia. The shame.
However, I feel young again!

Who ever owns the boat that came off is a brakeless twat.

Maybe, but s/he now feels really connected to the water.

Death to Yachties!

sails are death

this technique is known as the camden lock.
