My friend has a small boat (27′) with some anchor chain that’s way too big for his boat and he’s got LOTS of it…200′. His displacement is slightly more than half mine, but his chain is twice the size and 4x the weight. He’s passed the point of safety and a “reserve of neglect” here… he’s a Failboat candidate. Through no fault of his own mind you, his boat came heavily laden with this fat pile of chain. It’s another case of “more ain’t better”. But not to worry my friends, he’s taking the necessary steps to rectify the problem. Anyone need 200′ of BBB 3/8″ ?? …good price!!

The thought of this much extra weight forward (600lbs extra actually) makes me think of ye olde FAILBOAT. It’s been around a while, but still makes me giggle. It’s part of some internet nonsense… called Failblog. And of course there’s the Urban Dictionary Definition of said boat, in case you are confused.
