Would ten metres of chain and fifty or sixty metres of anchorplait do?

I must admit that my 15 lb CQR is about as heavy as I can handle and takes some hauling in especially with all the chain out and against the combined forces of wind and tide in a river estuary! On the other hand, the CQR has always held my Corribee very well in sand, pebbles or mud but did let me down in Scotland one year in thick kelp where it fails to grip effectively and drags easily – for kelp a fisherman anchor is probably best.

Best regards

I have 35 metres of chain and then rope to shacle on. I have a small Bruce and a fairly heavy CQR but never can decide which to use. The Bruce is so handy !!
Please share your experiences !!
