Anchor Chain Rope Length Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the anchor chain rope length (ARL) is:

\[ ARL = WS \times 1.5 + BL \]

Where:

\(ARL\) is the Anchor Chain Rope Length (m)
\(WS\) is the wind speed (knots)
\(BL\) is the boat length (m)

What is an Anchor Chain Rope Length?

The anchor chain rope length is the total length of rope needed to secure a boat, taking into account the wind speed and the length of the boat. This ensures the boat remains anchored securely in varying wind conditions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Wind Speed (WS) = 20 knots
Boat Length (BL) = 10 m

Using the formula:

\[ ARL = 20 \times 1.5 + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40 \, \text{m} \]

The Anchor Chain Rope Length is 40 meters.
