Hello all,
This my first post after becoming the proud new owner of my 1971 Ericson 32-2 Hull #188!
Of course, as with any new (to me) boat, there are so many projects that I have planned and even more waiting to show themselves in the future; but as my objective is to get cruising around the Channel Islands as quickly (read: safely) as I can, I'm wondering -- at the risk of opening any number of cans of worms as this question inevitably does -- what anchor choices my fellow Southern Californians have chosen.
I have an uncle, who has cruised the South Pacific for more years than I've been alive, who swears by his CQR; given the fact that he has twice the displacement that many of us do, I'm inclined to take his word, though, with a grain of salt. Pun intended.
I'm wondering what those of you in the SoCal area have found to be the "best" anchor for the area bottom.
Cheers,
and fair winds.
