HOW VERY DARE YOU - using common sense on an anchoring debate! I intend to get you banned for being sensible!

The OP is talking about a 16' boat with a small o/b, which he just wants to use "for pottering about, visiting beaches and a little light fishing". And he clearly rules out overnighting.
What's wrong in telling him that the cheapest anchor he'll find, with a few meters of chain and some rope, will be more than good enough?

Saw some interesting YouTube vids on the subject. Might be worth searching them out. Originally Posted by ChrisE

See? Raggies & stinkies don't necessarily have always different views, after all... Originally Posted by Searush

TBH, all the Raggies & Stinkies I've actually met (as opposed to virtually annoyed) have been the most remarkably pleasant & interesting people. And have had quite similar views (if not on politics, religion, global warming, anchoring, ColRegs, waders . . . . . etc!) Originally Posted by MapisM
