I have heard of some who will have a strong pad-eye mounted in the anchor 
locker; then they use some small stuff to tie the bitter end to the pad-eye.  
If you ever need to let the anchor go, a quick slice with a sharp knife and the 
small stuff will let go.  Otherwise, it's enough under most conditions to keep 
the bitter end from accidentally going overboard.
