A kellet can be useful for reducing swing radius in light to moderate winds, and may make an anchor easier to set, but it is dangerous to rely on a kellet to reduce scope. Under heavy load the anchor rode will be pulled taut regardless, negating the effect of the kellet weight. I agree somewhat... I wouldn't use it to reduce scope. I would use it to augment holding, especially if you don't have an all chain rode. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
