August,
Just looking at the Anchor Aid feature and found a small oversight. The description pop-up for the Anchor roller height is the same as for Keel depth ("Set this to the depth of your keel").
As for the different scope ratios mentioned in previous posts, you can only do so much for people -unless you want to go aboard and set the anchor for them
. I like that you include the ratio in your calculated lengths (chain & rope 3:1 & 10:1), but what about including the 'standard' ratios in between (5:1 & 7:1)? That provides the boater with all the info he/she needs to make their decision, but also serves as 'reminder' about given standard practice lengths. I know you can't create calculations for every situation/ rode & chain combination, but that may be a reasonable compromise.
BTW, thanks for all the work you put into Mr. Tides!
Regards,
Shane
