[Public-list] Anchors

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Tom,

IMHO, I would recommend more than 5 feet of chain which holds the anchor
down. Everything depends on the bottom conditions concerning anchor type and
amount of chain. I have a Danforth and a CQR with 20 feet of chain (OUCH
says the back) but we have never dragged. I have an Anchorman Windlass that
needs to be placed on deck to eliminate this old guy from killing himself.

Having just spent the night anchored off the Weepecket's in Buzzards Bay,
it 
occurs that there may be better solutions and safer ones than I am using. I

have a 20 lb "plow anchor" with 5 feet of chain.
 
Any other favorites or weight combinations ? Thoughts, wisdom or advice  ?
