Default Re: anchors

Not all boats have a lot of room. Some even store the anchor itself inside locker and are lucky to put in a 100 feet of line.

Put as much as you can fit. Never can have too much. I suggested 300 feet as a nice length, if it fits. 15 feet of chain makes a good set up. I guess that would be what? a 7 pound danforth?
