If the anchor you have does the job you ask of it ... then what's problem ?

OK - so if you decide to go off world girdling and expect times of extreme anchoring - then up the size to give peace of mind.

Seems there's a lot of strong wind being blown on this thread ... ;)
Go back to post#1. This thread started because the OP was not happy with his anchoring performance - that is difficulty in setting the anchor is specific well known locations. within the first page a number off helpful suggestions were made mainly about technique but also suggestions about the sort of anchor that might be better (but not larger/heavier)

Fast forward to post#28 probably missed as hidden amongst the waffle, the OP reports he has followed the advice from the first page and is much happier.

There is/was no problem that could not be resolved easily - as demonstrated in my observation in post#60 based on years of direct experience with essentially the same boat/anchor arrangements in the same locations.

It must have been due to poor holding that we had thread drift.

Or was the anchor not big enough :p
