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
