OK I finally got around to measuring the wire sizes on the anchors I've made.

The one I posted early was too heavy and real hard to retrieve if it hooked 2 or more tines. It is 7/16"

The one I posted with the line on it i made last year and is a bit too light. It is 1/4". Although it did work OK, but when the current/wind was strong it pulled out a few times.

So the one I just finished which should be perfect for my application. It is 5/16"

I have one more piece which I may make into another anchor this year, if I think I am still too light,but I don't think it will be a problem. It is 3/8".

There you have it. Feel free to copy my design and make one up for yourself. If i go into the anchor business, I'l let you know.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
