Selecting anchor rode for a canoe
Can anyone offer any advice on selecting anchor rode for my canoe? One
reason for wanting an anchor is as a safety measure in case of getting
blown out to sea. (I'll be canoeing along the South Coast of England).
My open canoe is 14ft LOA, with a 38" beam. I have two 30mtr lengths
of new 4mm nylon braided cord. I could join them with a fisherman's
knot. The weight tolerance of my 4mm nylon rope is not stated, but
another 4mm braided nylon rope I saw is rated at 900lb tensile
strength.
Thank you,
Al D
