Joel,
Anchoring is pretty new to us but the goal is to stay in 15 feet or
less. So, you point is well taken.
Fred,
I was considering the 90 feet of chain option. Isn't the rule of thumb
7:1 including the free board? I mean, still, 90 feet of chain laid out
on the bottom should be plenty to keep that anchor at a good angle.
Given our very limited experience with anchoring I was thinking I should
go over and above but, if that's not necessary why spend the money,
right? John Over at SL apares said he would run some calculations to
know how much chain the windlass can handle so, maybe that will make the
decision for me.
Danny
