Description
A disadvantage of most chain hooks is that you need to attach them to rode that has already cleared the bow roller and is well outboard of the pulpit. The ideal hook can be attached with one hand so that the other is free to hold on to the boat. Hooks with latches are almost 100 percent secure, but you need two hands to attach and disengage them. Some designs are clearly stronger and better suited to the task of anchoring than others.
