Cruising Anchor Requirements
The minimum length of the correctly sized chain for both your primary and secondary anchors must be at least half as long as the LOA of your boat. Both the primary and secondary anchors must also have the correctly sized chain and anchor rode for your vessel. The required anchor weight, required chain link diameter and correct rode size shall be defined either by boat length or weight.
One of your anchors must be ready for immediate use at the bow of your Cruising Class boat. Your secondary anchor and its rode and chain may be stored below or a lazarette . They do not have to be connected.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation and remember that a ready anchor is for your safety.
