Alain POIRAUD

I'm writting on this Wiki on my real name: Alain POIRAUD

I'm quite well known in the anchor business for having launched in 1996 a revolution in anchor design, the Spade anchor. This anchor pioneering the use of a concave blade.

I'm pensioned now and I don't have any more commercial or financial interest with any anchor manufacturer.

I'm also the author of a French book " Tout savoir sur le mouillage", translated in German "Besser Ankern", in English "The complete anchoring handbook", and soon in Italian and other foreing languages..
