Default Kedge Question

Just exactly how much scope do you think you
need when you are aground?

If your draft is 6' and topsides are 4', the length
of your kedge rode would be about 70'.

That sounds true in theory, but impractical. Seems like a waste of money

to
buy 2-300' of big, low-stretch line to keep around just for use as a kedge
rode. Considering most use their secondary anchor as a kedge, I would

think
just having a big diameter rope rode on the secondary would be sufficient.

If you have a dedicated kedge, its better to have a low
stretch rode on the kedge.
