that ancor thing I have been giving some concideration to.
I use two 5 pound claw ancors that dig in to the ground and weeds. I have pulled up about 10 pounds of weeds when I yank up my ancor.
I was thinking about a tuna can (6 oz) filled with lead with an eye bolt in it for an ancor. total weight 2 - 3 pounds
that flipping thing you mentioned dose concern me a great deal. I dont plan on being on the water when the wind picks up like that. But you know as well as I that when a storm kicks in, it does it with out warning. I have been caught out in my rowboat as I am sure most every one has at one time or another.
although it is not my plan to use an ancore because it will limmit my mobility, but should the ocation arise. where would you sugest to mount the ancor to avoid flipping.
would it help to mount it in front of me so if a wind kicks up the drag will be on the down side?
what weight would you sugest to use for a tube ancore?
