Always go up one size more than recommended--Joe's post is excellent (as usual). I would add, also get a Guardia or Fortress for thoes times that the Bruce may not set in mud--it will also work as a stern anchor.
I have 300 feet of 3/8" double braid I have owned for about 40 years--and used it as anchor rodes, kedging, warping etc--The only issue with double braid is not as much stretch--but that is easily handled with a 30 foot pieces of 3 strand and a rolling hitch around the double braid to use as a snubber. The snubber will allow good chafing gear when necessary, and allow you to adjust where and how the boat rides. _________________ Bob Austin
