This is how I am marking our anchor chain for our sailboat anchor. We have 350 feet of anchor chain. I have laid it out and am marking it, so when we drop our anchor, we know how much we have dropped. I am marking it at every 25'. 25' = 1 Band 50' = 2 Bands 75' = 3 Bands At 100' I change colors and start the process again! We are new sailors on our Sceptre 41 sailboat. If you dig the journey, we would love you to join us on our blog at: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ or any of our other social outlets. Cheers!
