I received a email from Jon Cooper on July 3 and they were available. He stated that they were not on the US site right now but if I wanted one he would send a paypal request to me to purchase. I sent a order to him this morning just waiting on response. |

So my Small Red 230g anchor just arrived. It states on the anchor that with a short rope/short 1/4" chain, I can get away with a 4 to 1 slope. Short rope/short chain is not defined, so I'm wondering if someone with experience could advise if what I am thinking here is reasonable for a PA 14. > Using 7 feet of 3/8 inch chain vs 1/4" chain. [Can I get away with less than 7 feet?] > Using 1/2 inch diameter braided nylon rope with an eye splice around a thimble to attach chain to rope. I am thinking of 30 feet of rope for a 4 to 1 scope ... (water depth in salt marsh is seldom greater than 7 feet). Bottom is primarily sand/mud. Tidal currents are not stong in the marsh. Wind can get up to 15-20 knot gusts (after which I will head in & wait for a calmer day). Would appreciate any thoughts/comments. Thanks. |

A 4 to 1 scope should be considered minimum. You only need enough chain to get the anchor to lay over. I don't use any chain and simply use more scope so the anchor is pulled at a shallower angle. Any time you find that it's not holding, just let out more anchor rope. At some point it'll dig in. |

Hi Tom, Where did you purchase your red cooper anchors? I went to the cooper anchor web site but there were no red anchors available. Thanks! |

The red is the smallest one. Got it direct from Cooper. If they no longer have them, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. Keep trying. Surely they didn't stop making them. |
