Chain for Delta anchor
Looking at anchors, I notice that the Delta carries a recommended
chain size smaller than a Bruce or CQR. In other words, an 88# Delta with 3/8" chain versus a 66-75# anchor of another type with 1/2" chain. I am thinking that a bomb-proof anchor is a good idea. At least one size larger than recommended. But if you get into 1/2 inch chain you are talking a lot of weight in chain! Why does the Delta use smaller chain? If you have, say, a 55 foot light/medium displacement boat, wouldn't an 88 pound Delta with 3/8 chain be a great secure anchor-rode combination with a lot less weight and cost than a Bruce or CQR?
