Reply To: anchor size

Hello Yann,
Just a thought for you, I carry a 25lb cqr on an HT 26 with high windage with 35 metres chain and 60metres anchorplait and I find it generally works fine in all conditions I have met. It has had to be reset a few times, but once dug in, it stays in. This view is not generally shared on most forums where the new types, inluding Rocna (cost!!) are recommended. However, just for good measure, I also have a 15lb (approx) Bruce plus chain and anchorplait as a kedge. Not only does this help for kedging, it is a stern anchor when needed and is a back-up for the CQR where the bootom is proving a problem. This approach of having two different anchors seems to me prudent, and it works.

Good luck

Mike
