Hey all,

The Capri seems to swing a lot on her anchor breaking a danforth loose. I want to know what you all use before trying something else.

THANKS!

I use a 22 pound bruce anchor with a 6 foot chain. It seems to stay put in everything. I try to use a 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 scope also.

I store it in a cockpit locker in a large pail. I seldom use it other than while serving as race committee for our club races.
