My old boat had a single Bruce anchor with 75' of chain followed by nylon rope.
On the new boat I have 2 anchors.* One with 350' of chain only.* The second anchor has the rope rode only, no chain.* In what circumstance would I use the anchor with rope only?* It would seem that the rope only arrangement would rarely be used - maybe never.
Also, with the chain only rode, I would probably need to employ the use of a snubber.* Any suggestions on how to configure a snubber would be appreciated.
