Hi, I'm putting together an anchoring system for my boat, getting the parts as I find them. Today I bought a 10kg Bruce type anchor thinking this would be a good start. Hopefully good enough for my 19' Glasply. I have reel of 1/2 Samson braid, not sure of amount, going to unreel and measure that on Saturday ...is 1/2" too thick/heavy? Would 3/8" be better/easier to handle and what length would be best for say 300' anchoring?
As I have to deploy the anchor from the stern (either of two 76 year olds climbing over the top to the bow not feasible) I'll be rigging up the sliding ring/rope from bow to stern system so I'll be on the hunt for that stuff and a scotchman and chain pretty soon too.
Any advice appreciated
thanks guys
