Joel,

 

Fortunately we didn’t do any anchoring in the Annapolis-Bermuda race this year!

 

Me:  5’ of chain and 100’ of 3/8” of three strand anchor line.  We racers keep 
it light.  8-)

My 35/3 had a fairly light Danforth and 10 feet of chain.  I used it only as a 
lunch hook, and it was pretty easy to haul up by hand.

 

My 44 has a 35 pound anchor (considered light for the boat by many) and 25 feet 
of 3/8 stainless chain.  When I tripped the breaker on the windlass and did not 
know how to reset it, I needed help hauling up the anchor and chain.  

 

Can't live with em, can't live without em!

 

Joel
