T&T: Anchor kellets

[LA Licata]

Marin,

yes, you read my post correctly.

I always kept the hook out of the water because that is what I had  
seen and experienced.

I knew I had the option to lower the hook deep into the water if I  
could not hold with the 7:1 scope, but the need never arose.

I guess I kind of answered my own question. If I lower the the hook  
until it is nearly at the bottom, I have in fact "kelletized" the  
anchor...

Thanks for walking me thru that!

If I am reading this correctly, you had a line (snubber) from a cleat on
deck to a chain hook attached to the all-chain rode somewhat above the
water,  and then let a loop of chain out from the windlass so it hangs
down between the pulpit and the chain hook.  If this is the
configuration you are describing, most people in our area (Pacific
Northwest) including us do the same thing, but it does not have the same
effect as a kellet...
