[C320-list] Anchors

[Rod Boer]

Hi Warren,
Folks with C320s have had several raft-ups in the past. One I think was in Ridout Creek which empties into White Hall Creek which empties into White Hall Bay near Annapolis and the other was Swan Creek which is located in Rock Hall. Raft ups can be organized quickly and take a minimal effort when compared to a rendezvous.  
Rendezvous need to start being organized the year before it is supposed to happen. I have been with the association since 1999/2000 and the ones that didn't start the year before never happened and several times cost the association money because of commitments that had to still be paid when the rendezvous didn't happen.

Agreed, we need to organize a rendezvous on the Chesapeake this season!! If there is enough interest, I'll do what ever I can to help make it happen.

Jerry, I have a standard Danforth, I guess about 25-30lbs, slightly larger than a Fortress FX-16. It has worked well for years. I'm considering an FX-11, which is the size for the 320 anchoring in shallow protected waters. Others who have the Fortress, claim it is great on the Chesapeake. For better information on anchors on the Chesapeake, see a Practical Sailor article last year specifically addressing anchors on the Chesapeake. If you don't have access, write me off-line and I'll see if I can find it.
Please let me know where you keep your boat. We Chesapeakers should plan a raft-up.

We're getting there! Spring weather can't be far off. Whew!

This question is primarily directed to our friends on the Chesapeake Bay.
We have a Danforth and a Plow anchor. Curious as to the consensus on which holds better in and around the Bay.

Thanks as always for input.
