For every statement in Chapman's (there is only one that I could find) that says a combination rode is "the ideal" (they do NOT say "best" by the way) in terms of weight and versatility, there are statements in other, more up to date books that say an all-chain rode is "the ideal" rode.* As do some anchor manufacturers.nomadwilly wrote:

*Ah ha, it does have the silver fern on it.* When I showed the orininal pic of Marin's to my son, his reponse was, "yeah, cool, but where's the silver fern?", to which I replied, "I'll bet it's there somewhere..." It sure is - with bells on.* Silver fern on background of black is NZ's national emblem/colour for those not in the know.Marin wrote:
Here's the whole plane as it was being towed out for a flight in Everett. As you can see, it's not quite ALL black. And Eric, the doors of every commercial jetliner, regardless of the paint scheme, have to be obvious. It's a crash-safety requirement.

*That's the whole point.* There are also defined squares and rectangles at various places on the top of the fuselage we* call "chop outs."* They are clearly marked and labeled as such.* They are places where rescuers can chop through the skin and gain easy access to the cabin without a lot of obstructing wiring and ducts in the way.Carey wrote:
*Helps to define the doors for rescuers. I suppose.
