Breydon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Having been visiting Norfolk for more years than I care to remember my understanding of the word "rhond" has always been the network of reed roots and marshy peat bog where much of the Norfolk reed grows. In those situations a mooring pin would easily pull out but due to the angle on the rhond anchor the only way the boat can pull it is sideways which is almost impossible. They have their uses in rhond but personally in a firm earth bank I find that a mooring pin bashed in with a 2lb club hammer is much easier to set. Since I rarely moor up in reedbeds I only carry mooring pins. Should I need to moor up in reeds I just sling my anchor into the reeds and tether it amidships which holds the boat admirably.
