your anchor line looks a bit tight(100foot deep 300 foot of line rule of thumb),also when you use a so called alderney ring make sure your chain is heavier then your anchor, so it does not slip back down, works better than the clips.

your anchor line looks a bit tight(100foot deep 300 foot of line rule of thumb) Glad someone else noticed that - I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure Dave has some reason for that or that it's been working fine for years but just in case someone is reading who has problems with their anchor dragging, lifting or generally not holding then letting more rope out will help. As squidhead says, 3 times length by depth is a good rule of thumb - you don't need to know how deep the water is, or how long your anchor rope is, just look at the angle the rope goes into the sea. The rope that's above sea level should follow the same principal. Of course, there's always cons to every pro. If you let out a lot of rope on a windy day with very little tide to steady the boats position you'll be swinging about all over the place! Like so many other things in fishing - you can't always win! P.S. Lovely boat Dave! |

You are both dead right, in fact if I recall I had to let out more warp as the tide increased, it was my first time out to this spot and did not realise how fast the tide was here.
I normally allow loads of warp but as you can see I was into fish and did not want to move!
Forgot to add I now use a stopper so the buoy is kept away from the boat and I know I have enough warp out as well.
