These weights should be (excepting kedge) increased 25 per cent. when

anchors are for use on a broad shoal model, and can be decreased if

model is very sharp and the hull light. There is no advantage to be had

by decreasing the weight of the spare in any case. Anchors are seldom

forged to weigh exactly the above weights, but the matter of a few

pounds either way will not effect the service.
