Fast anchor alarm with second ground bar
A bucket full of cans that falls clattering into the cockpit wakes you from the deepest sleep. If you connect it to a line and a small folding drag, you have an effective anchor alarm. To do this, the drag is placed as close as possible to the main anchor and the line is led over the bow into the cockpit. If the ground anchor starts to slip, the dragger pulls the bucket from its place. However, there should be enough slack in the alarm line to avoid a false alarm when the dragger slips.
