General
Description: Analysis of force exerted at various wind speeds
Notes

A reasoned estimate of expected holding strength (excellent bottom) of a 65 pound Mantus M1 anchor is 4,000–6,000 lbs
5/16" G4 chain has a breaking strength of 11,600lb
Mantus S1 swivel has a breaking strength of 15,000 pounds
M2 CH2 5/16" chain hook has a breaking strength of 15,154 lbs)
For a good understand of the forces on your anchor system read Al's software analysis
