how big,how much

[Rock Dog]

Looking to buy anchor for use on a 21 ft. Trophy for Admirilty inlet area for the Halibut drill.How heavy of anchor,how much and what size chain,is 300 ft. of rope enough?

[Jadeo]

I would say that 300ft of line will work just fine on a calm day with little tide. I would lean twards somthing more like 500ft with 20ft of 5/16 chain and a 15ish pound Bruce type anchor that will keep you stuck nice in Butt zone around here.

I can't argue with Jadeo's advice... 300' plus a minimum of half your boat's length in galvenized 3/8" Proof Coil chain should work fine.
A 12 lb Danforth anchor will work fine but a Bruce or CQR plow anchor would be better...and a little heavier on your wallet as well.

Finally, get an anchor float system to pull your anchor.
Come look me up at the Seattle Boat Show and we'll get you all rigged up!

Hey Rock,
I'll be at the Seattle Boat show from Jan 28 to February 2nd.

Just look at the SBS Seminar schedule and you'll find me.

In fact, I'll find a copy of the Boat Show program and try to put one up on the site.
