Anchors and Chain
A number of variables affect anchoring. And choosing the right anchor, windlass or winch is the difference between pain and pleasure! A number of factors should be taken into account to find the right solution. Talk to us to find out more!
In choosing the right anchor for your boat, give consideration to the following: Type, displacement, draught and windage of vessel; tidal conditions; type of sea floor; wind strength. Sizes suggested in the product descriptions are considered for average boats under average conditions with a minimum of 1.5 boat lengths of appropriate sized chain. Final selection should be based on personal experience. If in doubt select one size larger and speak with the staff at CH Smith Marine.
