lofty Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 My yak is 5m My anchor is a 1.5kg Bruce with 1metre of 6mm chain with a tie strap break away with 150metres of 3mm paracord. Swanage is the only place I lose anchors but at 9 quid each it's not too much drama. Cheers Jim Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjb Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 when I got my boat new 2 years ago it came with about 80 feet of 6mm chain to that I have 300 feet of multi plait it seems to work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Out at the weekend in deep water , I decided to try the lighter anchor with the thinner much longer chain [8mm but 15 to 20 metres long] even in 70 metres of water it held well but it was flat calm which always helps. Damn capstan stopped working so Alderney ring up and recover by hand. Hot work in yesterdays weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
