[Rhodes22-list] anchoring

[Joe Babb]

Elle,
Sounds like Slim's got the answer.   He has experience with the Delta 
and says it is good in weeds.  As far as anchor rode goes, I'm gonna 
stick with a short length of chain between anchor and nylon because the 
chain helps hold the anchor at a good angle to dig in.  Lots of tests by 
folks like Practical Sailor magazine back that up.  That's usually what 
a kellet is used for if you have to anchor with short scope, to hold the 
anchor at a better angle.
Best,
Joe
