T&T: Anchor rode snubber line size

[Jay Leonard]

Bob,
I think 5/8 is too large. We used 5/8 last year in our
first year with the 40 Albin and there is not much
elsticity.
As others have suggested I believe 1/2 would be much
better and I'll be changing line sizes this season.
Good luck with the new boat.
Jay Leonard

 I'm thinking 
5/8" 
3-part twisted nylon would probably be better for
absorbing shock than 
3/4" since it is going to be doubled into a bridle
that is lead into 
both haws-pipes on either side of the bow to keep the
bow centered, 
more 
or less.
