HI Alex:
Based on our experience in the dark of night with a boat about to drift
down on us I have about ten feet of 1/4" line connecting the bitter end
of the chain anchor rode to a pad eye in my locker. If there is any risk
of a boat drifting down on us I place a fender on the foredeck. The
theory is that, if needed, I can quickly cut the line then tie it to the
fender that I will throw overboard. This way we can depart quickly and
pick up the anchor rode later.
The light line is only to prevent the anchor chain from departing from
the boat unintentionally and to connect the rode to the fender.
Don
