I have something of an opposite question... involving increasing weight. (Yes, I know, not racing-friendly.... ;-)
I recently tried anchoring without much luck. I've been told I need to get about 20' of chain; then the anchor will practically set itself. Thoughts?
Also, the anchor locker looks like it could hold a substantially larger anchor than what I have. I don't see anything about anchor weight in the class rules. What did the J/30 originally come with? I haven't weighed mine, but it looks pretty small for a 30' boat.
