[C320-list] FW: Anchor Type and Weight

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

My primary system is a 35 pound Delta anchor attached to 38 feet of 5/16” G3 chain and 260 feet of ½” nylon rode.  

This has served me well. I usually anchor with 7:1 scope in 8-10 feet of water. Bottom is typically mud. The PO used about 18 feet of chain... I thought that to be minimal and added more. Would have added even more except with a rope-only gypsy on my windlass, I'm hauling the chain in by hand!!! A chain gypsy conversion is high on the "ToDo" list.
