[Public-List] anchor and rode

[Dave Terrell]

I have two questions

1. does any one have all chain rode? if so, what size chain, what kinnd of chain, how much, and how does the weight of the chain effect the way the boat sails? (I do not race).

2. what are the challenges of using a bruce/claw anchor on our boats. I noticed that the pictures on the site showed that at least one person uses a bruce anchor.

thanks for any thoughts.
