Anchor line

We have more questions about what to use/how to use rope for anchor line.

The fiber of choice is nylon because of its' elasticity. The weight of the chain and the anchor controls the drop, the scope(length) is the main factor in how well it holds. The Coast Guard has recommendations for amount of line to depth of water and can be found on their website. Heavy seas or wind or running tide affect the amount of scope needed.

Construction tomorrow.
