$1.99 · Designed for iPad
Quickly and safely calculate the anchor chain length you need - tailored to your boat, whether sailing or motor cruising.
Calculate how much anchor chain to lay out quickly and easily with Anchor Chain Calculator. A simple, calm way to anchor with more confidence.
The app takes key anchoring factors into account and gives you a clear recommendation in seconds.
Quick and easy:
Enter the water depth, wind strength and whether you are anchoring with chain or rope, and the app immediately shows you a recommended length.
Need something more tailored? Add your boat and anchors:
Do you own a sailing yacht or motor boat? Are you chartering a yacht for your next holiday?
Enter the boat details, including dimensions, displacement and available anchors, and the recommendation becomes more individual. Anchor weight, chain size, rode setup and boat displacement are then included in the calculation. The app gives you a recommendation tailored more closely to your actual equipment on board.
Ideal for sailors, motor boaters and anyone who wants a quick, practical anchoring aid on board.
Features:
* Recommended anchor chain length calculation
