Hi Guys,

Chris and Jake are correct .... the ground anchors on the left of Jakes pic are the one's you want. They come in different sizes from 1'lg/3"disc up to 42"lg/4"disc. You can also find them at most Arborist Supply Stores ( I think the Farm Supply Stores maybe slightly cheaper???).

To spin them in I use a 2"dia pipe maybe 5-6'lg (old galvanized fence post) w/ either a large screwdriver or crowbar/breaker bar that fits inside the pipe and through the "eye" in the ground anchor .... next walk in circles

Now while I applaud the "buried tire concept" I do not suggest that here in the USA ... because ... by law you are burying/dumping a "Toxic Material/Waste" on a beach .... tires must be "disposed of properly" by federal and state laws. (using a registered/licensed facility I believe)

In a pinch I've placed my boat between some trees (small pines) and tied the traps lines down to the tree trunks. The first time I did it the other members of my YC looked at me funny .... after some of the other small sailboats were thrown around in the field, for the next storm there were other boats beside mine tied down among the pine trees on the high ground at the YC.
