    WOW! thats a lot of ground tackle.
    I have about 500ft. of 1" megabraid, 2-35lb. Bruces with 25ft. of 3/8"
    chain,1-75lb cast iron Danforth with 25ft. of 3/8" chain and one huge
    Fortress, I don't know which model # but the stock is about 4ft. long and
    the flukes are at least 3ft. The boat is a 44ft. trimaran that only weighs
    about 8000lbs. so I am trying to keep the gear light too.
    I have always wondered if the 2 bruces deployed in a Bahamian style would be
    better than the heavy Danforth......
