  1. This has been a very interesting discussion about anchors, chain & warp. Recently, whilst preparing for a short trip, on our Nb on the Thames, (out at Bow Creek round the Isle of Dogs to go in at Limehouse, as part of the East London Waterways Festival, celebrating the reopening of the Carpenters Road Lock, Bow Back Rivers), I asked a fellow boater about how to make sure that the chain and warp did not get tangled once being thrown overboard. I had always had the chain in a bucket, with the warp attached to the chain going down the side and the chain coiled neatly until the free end at the top attaches to the anchor. The warp I coiled as neatly as possibly in a circle. It was suggested to me that the safest way to coil the warp was in a figure of eight, as after the anchor and chain and are overboard, the warp would be less likely to get tangled. Does anyone have anything to add to this advice?
