It can't take too much time to splice and you will sleep better for the week.....
One of my favorite knots. I use it to secure dock lines to posts, alternating with a Lighterman's Hitch, depending on the post/bollard, and what I feel like doing at the moment.
But for anchor service with 3-strand, I'll splice it on. Takes a few minutes, and doesn't get much more secure that that. Tapering, and even whipping the splice, makes it neater, but a good old-fashioned anchor splice is quick and secure.
I don't know if he's got 3 strand or braided, but, yep, 3 strand's usually a snap to splice.One of my favorite knots. I use it to secure dock lines to posts, alternating with a Lighterman's Hitch, depending on the post/bollard, and what I feel like doing at the moment.

I'd vote with Ross on this one. And thimbles just means a shackle, one more link, plus you must have a larger deck pipe, thus a bigger hole for water to enter.
This is just temporary for the week and will be tying rope to ring on chain mo probs about locker or hatch as lid is going
