Young Entertainer 59 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 For a 1020, so not a lot of space in the anchor locker once you get the anchor in there but would like to be okay anchoring at the barrier when I need to, thinking 20metres of chain then how much rope would you buy?

erice 732 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 50m/16mm 3 strand nylon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 59 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 would a total of 70 metres be enough for barrier? have not cruised there much but know it tends to be the deepest place around here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farrari 4 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have 15m of 8mm chain, approx 80m warp and a 25 lb Manson Supreme and it all fits in my 1020 locker. I have approx half the warp loose in the locker and the other half is neatly tied up and clipped on out of the way just for Barrier trips. The extra warp is there for the very odd times where I need to anchor in deeper water and it's blowing. I had 20m chain last time around and if I was going to do it again I would go for the longer length; 15m is a bit short for me. I see Max Headroom has 30m chain for cruising and that looks to be really useful for tight anchoring situations. My 2c go see KM for the warp. I bought some rubbish stuff from a local swindlery (was sold as top of the line) two years ago and it's nearly due for replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 would a total of 70 metres be enough for barrier? have not cruised there much but know it tends to be the deepest place around here My thoughts as well. 70m gives you a max anchoring depth of 14m and I thought you needed about 20m for the barrier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farrari 4 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I would have thought 70m total is probably a bit on the short side. A lot of bays are in the 10-15m depth range but in a blow you will want more than 5:1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
