Entire vessel and lives of all on board can be at risk when propulsion is lost in high seas. In this situation the anchor must be able to grab and hold bottom to pull the bow to face the oncoming waves and swell. In these conditions the tensile shear impulse loads on the pin have the potential to cause the anchor to release from the bottom and it then being certain that it cannot bite in again. What load/ stress modelling has been done to factor in wave height, water depth, rode anchor/ rope composition, hull weight, hull buoyancy, hull sail effect etc? Unless this has been comprehensively done, how can sale of this design be justified?

Well done with the design fellas.
It hardly showed the sarca in comparison.
