[C320-list] Anchor and Chain Size

[russgm at yahoo.com]

as Stan put it, "I have very little need to plow the bottom of harbors" as a result I didn't buy any anchor of that design, many advancements have been made in testing, holding and science since they were designed.  Read about the Spade, Rocna and Manson Supreme, they are the future.
   
  Here is a link to the articale I referred to earlier:

  Both the Rocna and the Manson Supreme were unavailable on the date of publication.

  I have been using a 25lb CQR with 30' of 5/16 chain and 200' of rope road on 
my C-320 and have been very happy with the performance. I cruise primarily in 
the middle Chesapeake bay were there is a lot of soft-mud. One of my 
neighbors have a C-400 and the cruise from Maine to the Florida. They have used a 
number of different anchors and this year changed to using a CQR.
