Standard for small boats anchoring in soft muddy/sandy not-too-deep bottoms to use about 10 feet of chain between the anchor and a nylon rope anchor rode.
Seems to work. Except the chain part is a pain. Hard to handle on deck and comes up muddy and hard to wash clean.
Would it work instead to have a couple of weights on the line ? Say 5 feet from the anchor and another at 10 feet. Or something like that.
With all nylon rope in between ? Maybe with a bigger anchor ? Maybe need more scope ?
