[Rhodes22-list] Keep well

[Chris Cowie]

Jeff:
Anchors may drag so I am not sure that is a good idea.  A more substantial mooring type anchor would be fine.  The boat is very easy to launch and retrieve with the mast up if you have a dry dock option at the marina that accommodates a mast up storage and that might be a better idea.

Jeff,

Congratulations on your recent acquisition.

I’m not clear on the details of your plan, but it sounds like you might be thinking of leaving your boat anchored for extended periods (i.e. hours) while you are not on board.  This is just my personal opinion, but this is not a plan that I would be comfortable with.  Your insurance company probably wouldn’t be too comfortable with this plan either.

If I’ve misinterpreted your intentions, please just ignore this.

My wife Emily and I recently bought R22 "Opus" from Chris Cowie at Voilier
Yachts and have renamed her (it? them? their? I'm so confused... ) "Radiant"
after our last boat, a J/30.  With the Corona Viris lock down in NJ, our, 3
blocks away, Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina  plans on being open - so
far.
We hope to store the boat with the mast up on the trailer and launch HER (I
have decided) for the weekend and keep her on anchor 'til we retrieve her. .
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has done similar and their
thoughts.
