Anchor help needed

[Darlabill]

We have a 2021 Ranger Tug R31 Sedan and got caught in a storm on the 4th of July. Several boats and a buoy got all tangled up and we had to cut our anchor rope to get free from danger. Two divers later, we cannot find the anchor and chain. Does anyone know what we need? What Lewmar anchor and what size and length of chain??

Sorry to hear that happened. That can be stressful. Whenever I anchor and the wind picks up someone inevitably drags anchor, I'm always hoping it's not going to be someone upwind of me. Hopefully it didn't happen in the middle of the night, that is never fun.
Someone on here will have the specs for your new anchor and chain, probably an option for an upgrade as well. Wishing you pleasant anchorages from here on out.

Chain is 5/16 G4 and rode is 5/8 inch . Factory is 50 feet of chain and 200 rode.
I would upgrade to a Rocna 15 for the anchor and a Mantus swivel. You will need a Mantus anchor guard if you upgrade the anchor.
Lots of posts on tugnuts about anchors
