There are a few things to consider when determining if polypropylene line would be good for an anchor on a boat. First, polypropylene line is not as strong as other types of rope, so it may not be able to hold the anchor in place in rough conditions. Second, polypropylene line is not as durable as other types of rope and may break down over time. Finally, polypropylene line is not as buoyant as other types of rope, so it may not float as well and could sink.

Negligent Operation.
operating a boat in a reckless manner is negligent or grossly negligent operation of a vessel and is against the law. If it interferes with the safe operation of the vessel, and endangers lives and property the Coast Guard may fine the operator with a civil penalty for negligent operation.
Grossly negligent operation is a criminal offense and an operator may be fined up to $5,000, or jailed for up to a year, or both.

Capsizing due to water coming over the transom - the back of the boat. Wind pushes the boat away from the anchor. When the boat is anchored from the bow, this allows the boat to cut through the waves just as when you are underway. When anchored from the stern, waves hit the back of the boat and enter the boat.

In 1975, it took 5 weeks to do the trip in the opposite direction, i.e. Sydney to Southampton, UK; It probably has not changed much since then. It took 6 weeks in 1966 to come through the Panama Canal via Tahiti and New Zealand, but faster ships were doing the voyage through the Suez Canal to Australia in about 4 weeks.
