Please help! I have been using my Dory to teach kiteboarding and have been LOVING it!!! except anchoring... I was trying to anchor to hold position and setup the kite off the stern. However the vessel sails back and forth soo much that she would pull the anchor and drift down on the kite lines and create a huge, time wasting mess. I tried a danforth, bruce and plow anchors so far. Conditions are varied; soft mud with HEAVY weeds, and semi weedy sand. Water depth is usually 3-5 ft and I have 10 ft of chain and have played with 3:1 to 10:1 scope all with the same results, esp as the wind come up into high teens, and forget about an anchor holding in 30!!! any wisdom here fellas??? anchors and all oversized for my 22...

I had 50' of chain on my 22 never drug an anchor 22# lewmar claw on the 25 I have 100' of chain & a 22# lewmar claw zero issues, I anchor in 4-250' 0f water :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
