- Anchor rode preferences...
- Where is your cruising area??
- Many good points and things to consider TD
- as long as we are on the subject... how do you find out what chain works best?
- I think you COULD get by with a mixed rode; however,
- The gypsy usually has the chain type pressed in to it.
- Rope to chain splice may not work unattended

- FYI 5/16" chain is about 1.1 lb. per foot.
- go with a brait rode. won't asshole up and takes up less room in the locker.
