GPSguru Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) With small tidal streams in lyme bay I usually only put out 2 x depth of warp. It is not as it you are leaving the boat, so warp can be adjusted to suit. As my boat is ‘open’ wndage is not an issue ........currently my anchor is a 3.5kg bruce with 6m of 6mm chain and 12 mm 3 strand nylon warp. The ony time you need a lot of warp is anchoring wrecks. Next year I am considering fitting a bow mounted trolling motor to use instead of an anchor. It would give me 5 to 8 hours anchor time and stay within 1m of the position.

Yes, I want the chain and rope but my charter day is cancelled due to tier 4. Can you keep hold of it until its lifted and I can get down there?

Andy135 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 So what happened here then? @LostPiker I'm guessing lockdown prevented you from picking up @Saintly Fish's gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm in Berkshire so can't claim a drive to the South Coast is essential. As soon as it is lifted I'll be rebooking my charter day and coming down to get the gear Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stuck inland too and missing the salt, but hey, better safe than sorry. We've all got to do our bit to beat the virus 👍 Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
