I set the anchor against the wind at a 3:1 scope (60' rope in 20' water) and let the wind swing us to the other side. I was watching the rope as we did and after it started to tighten up it took a few more feet to stop--I would say about 3 feet from when the rope stiffened up before it set again which I think is pretty good?
Looks like I'll be selling the 13# and sticking with the 8# & 2#!

Just curious, why are you trying to test these out to go with the smallest anchor possible? Personally I prefer overkill.
