Snubber: Anchor & Chain Planner

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based planner estimates how much anchor chain to let out for a boat, anchorage depth, seabed, wind and gusts.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: Skippers planning overnight anchorages
Worth noticing: It checks the strongest gust rather than the average wind, and can flag when the chain exceeds its working limit or the boat lacks enough chain for the depth.

Field notes

The setup can be saved as a boat profile, then adjusted for each anchorage’s depth, remaining tide, seabed, and forecast. The page says the free tier also includes offline use and a logbook; backup and syncing require a free account. Its disclaimer identifies the output as a planning aid based on published data and engineering estimates, with anchoring responsibility left to the skipper.
