Using a kellet is a good idea but I think also important when using a rope
rode is to have a good length of chain between the anchor and the rode. On
a C&C 32 I would say that about 35 feet

There is a major problem with relying on most anchor alarms. If you have
100 feet of rode out and set the alarm for 100-150 feet, the alarm will
