Boat Anchors, Anchor Rope, Anchor Chain from leading manufacturers. When purchasing an anchor.  Dont forget that your anchoring success depends on the correct boat anchor & rope scope, or length of rope and chain you use. An average ratio of rode is 7 to 1, so 70 feet from windlass or cleat to the bottom would require 490 feet of rode (anchor chain and anchor rope). The scope, or length, varies from 4/1 to 10/1 depending on the size of your boat and the bottom terrain, tidal conditions etc. For additional details on anchoring you can refer to the "Chapman Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling" manual, US Power Squadron, or US Coast Guard Auxiliary. We recommend Fortress Anchors which are recognised worldwide for superior holding power.
