[C320-list] Anchors

[Onat Dogruer]

We use a 35lb CQR; very happy with it. If we are on the hook
overnight, it sinks into the Chesapeake mud nicely. Also have Danfort
as a secondary.

We are in West River and would love to do a raft up! :)

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.
