Look Gaynzy... I don't really consider that advise on anchoring from
somebody that can't set a 40lb CQR.... has any value whatsoever.

Backing at 1800 for 30 seconds? You ought to be able to tell with a
range if you're holding.

Well a range is a given..... I'm making certain the hook is set and
holding. I'll often fire up and back down on a set before turning in
just to make certain my tackle is holding solid.


I've seen people do the "downwind toss" - it looks slick when it works.
But more often than not I'm trying to place the boat within 10 feet of
a spot. I usually don't have the luxury of an open anchorage.

I can't understand that... I can do it in a mooring field and have. A
ten foot spot is the target but you still have a swing radius to contend
with after the set. If you are on a downwind approach you should allow
sufficent swing radius room for other vessels anchored in that area. The
depth of the anchorage as well as the bottom conditions are important in
deciding where and how to set... but I'm assuming anyone with experience
has already taken these into consideration.



As I say, I like to end up in a predictable spot - the CQR felt like a
crap shoot. As for dragging, in the 12 years I've used a Delta I've
never dragged after setting. In fact, I never dragged with a CQR, I
just had trouble setting it and didn't like the weight. Dragging 4
times doesn't sound that great to me.

Say what.... dragging 4 times out of maybe a thousand sets isn't bad at
all Jeff. I find it hard to believe that you never dragged.... that's
just unrealistic.


OK, there was one time with the Delta: we anchored for the afternoon
and noticed a slow drag immediately. Since we were planning to lunch
in the cockpit and relax for a hour or so, and had about 1000 yards to
the lee shore, we let it be and enjoyed the changing perspective. We
found out later we had anchored in soft spoil from the Boston Big Dig
and nothing was going to hold.

Ah Hah! ... look Jeff, no matter how good you are at setting hook...
you will eventually drag on occasion until you have a system set up that
minimizes or neutralizes that possibility.

Yes, you must fatboy.

Must you gay up every post?

I don't think 4'' is enough ... minimally 5'' and up to 7'' is
more typical. 4'' is ok for lunch, even 3'', but if it's overnight,
longer is
better. Since there's barely room for 10'', I've never done it.
