And, if you have less than a decent amount, and you know you're going to a place that potentially has coral, seems reasonable to either avoid that place, get more chain, or talk to the locals before you try to anchor. Half a boat length of chain is the recommended minimum. Most serious cruisers are using all chain (with a snubber) for a variety of good reasons. Did you get a copy of Chapman's yet ? You'll learn a lot from it and get more details than anyone here can provide: http://www.amazon.com/Chapman-Piloti...Small-Handling She would prefer to troll here. |
