Keith,

I was thinking of using about 125' of 5/16" chain, then at least another
150' of 3/4" 3-strand nylon rope on a CQR, for the primary anchor, then
about 125' of 3/8" G4 chain and the same rope attachment for a Luke
Fisherman storm anchor, and haven't decided about whether to use chain
with the 150' 3/4" 3-strand nylon rodes for a Bruce and a Danforth.

Opinion ?

Cordially,
Courtney

I can't answer about the chain, but if you go up a size in Nylon you'll have
two effects. One, it won't be as "stretchy" to absorb shock, and two, you
can't carry as much. If it's too stiff, it can actually yank the anchor out
of the bottom in severe conditions. Of course, it'll always be stretchier
than chain!
