Please, I beg of you - don't ask another anchor question.
Speaking of which, what brand do you all recommend I tie around my neck before I jump off the dock because I can't stand another anchor thread? I'm thinking a Fortress, as I want my body to stay in one place to make it easier to find.
I don't believe I will need an anchor tied to my stern as well. The Fortress or Bunch O' Cinderblocks recommended by Marin should suffice.With the holding power of a 12H , setting the stern anchor takes about 2 min.(50ft boat)
Delfin, a chain rode necktie may be all that's required. At the most, a river mushroom anchor. Sometimes, even the most basic of anchors is still too much. Just trying to save your heirs some boat bucks here...
