[quote SportfishinSteve][#000080]you should have a length (12-18") of chain attached directly to the anchor . I coil my rope(s) up into a round bag so that when you feed out your anchor the rope will uncoil properly. Putting it back in the bag is a little time consuming, but it makes for very managable anchoring when you need it. [/#000080][/quote]
Thanks for the info. I learned about the absolute necessity of having a chain upon asking some questions after my first boat trip in high winds. [
] I'll definitely have to check out a different type of rope.
Though I'm not quite sure how you make use of an "anchor bag" and I'm curious. I've never seen that in a rubber raft, but now with any sizable length of rope. I'll have to keep any eye out for exactly what you mean. [cool]
