Our boat has a bulb with a stinger that extends past the trailing edge of the keel. I use a kellet, (Walmart 20# mushroom anchor) and it does a good job to keep the slack on the bottom and a small round fender to keep the line near the surface as far from the bow as possible, but found the best prevention, is an alarm clock to check the anchor during a tide change. If the wind is opposite the current, we anchor somewhere else.

Absent a kellet or enough chain, being anchored off Chestertown with a 2 knot reversing current always ends up with the rode around the keel.

Does anyone have any thoughts on kelets or "anchor buddies"? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
