T&T: Anchor Size Recommendations

[Bill Allen]

Used in new jersey by the canyon guys all the time to lift a thousand or so 
feet of line and the anchor. Just a round (about 6") ss loop snaps to a 
large anchor ball. Run over the hook  as the line basically trails off the 
stern at an angle ball goes to anchor and up she comes. Wheter it would work 
on an all chain anchor rode may be the question. but it is easy and works 
quite well. You need to be aware of where the hook is in refernce to the 
boat but thats easy. Careful you don't wrap a prop easy as well. Not sure in 
some of the anchorages if you'd have room. Bill
