Re: Stern Anchor

Happily we're not all alike.

My stern anchor is a Delta, mainly because it self-stows so well. It's on 25m of chain and 75m of octoplait.

It's been used quite frequently around the Med - Siracusa, Salerno two mention two most commonly.

That's because I tie-up bows-to (not every boat has a sugar-scoop stern) and the wind pilot is excessively vunerable.

My third is an old-fashioned Danforth, scarcely ever used, especially since it snared the cable between Gugh and St Agnes.
