20.2 Sailing Vessels
20.2.1 The sizing of anchors and cables for sailing vessels should take into account the additional windage effect of the masts and rigging.
20.2.2 Typically, for square rigged sailing vessels, experience based guidance on approximate increase in anchor mass and cable strength required is:
for vessels up to 50 metres in length, typically 50% above the requirements for a typical motor vessel having the same total longitudinal profile area of hull and superstructure as the square rigged sailing vessel under consideration; and
for vessels 100 metres in length and over, typically 30% above the requirements for a typical motor vessel having the same total longitudinal profile area of hull and superstructure as the square rigged sailing vessel under consideration.
For a square rigged sailing vessel of between 50 and 100 metres in length the increase should be obtained by linear interpolation.
