[C320-list] SURVEY Anchor Type Chain

[jpmesa at aol.com]

I noticed several boats have 5/16 chain ( including myself) did you up grade your windless to handle the chain or is it good old arms and back.  JOHN

I'll second that. 
1) Anchor Type: Rocna 15 (Previously used a CQR 35. Verysensitive to setting technique. Continued resetting efforts to reduce Drag potential) 
 
2) Anchor Weight: 33lb 
 
3) Chain Length: 60ft of 5/16 chain 
 
4) 150 5/8 nylon rode 
 
5) Holding Ground: Sand, Grass, Mud. 
 
Very effective anchor. Fit perfectly on the C320 bow roller. Set’s very quickly. High holding strength through 360 degree rotation around anchor set point. More importantly, after deploying the Rocna several times, the confidence factor in the anchor is now very high.. I can sleep at night.
