[Public-list] Anchor and Rode

[Mark Ferguson]

For Biscayne Bay and upper keys, I replaced 200' of chain on the CQR with 20' chain and 100' of nylon. I use a small lunch hook with no chain for short stops. l keep a Danforth with 20' of smaller chain at the house for used on Bahama cruises. I've remove all heavy weather equipment in order to keep the vessel light and quick. Gotta keep the air moving to stay cool in Miami.

This talk about anchor chain makes me wonder...
I would have thought an all chain rode might be
overkill here in  the Chesapeake Bay.

What anchor and rode combination do you Chesapeake Bay
sailors use?

I have no experience with the A30 yet, but I would
guess that a 20 lb Danforth, 20' of 5/16" chain, and
100' of 7/16" nylon would be about right for most
conditions here.  A smaller lunch hook with lighter
nylon and no chain is probably OK for mild conditions
when the boat is attended.

What do those who range to the Keys and the Carribean
find they need?

Pete
