Hi all

Lots of good operator advice here.
In adition, you MUST get and read the anchoring book by Hinz, Earl R.
After reading it you reallize the anchor is the last part of an
anchoring system to consider. The first thing to ask is, How much drag
(pull) will you create. From there you can develop a complete anchoring
system. For example, no use putting the biggest hook on the bottom only
to have your line part or the cleat ripped off the deck.
