Anchor is a requirement for racing.  At least in our one design fleet and I think in most PHRF classes also, but we keep it to the minimum requirement and, of course, no chain.   Last weekend's NOOD regattas, there was an adverse current at almost 3 knots, wind dies, everyone puts out the anchor and waits for the RC to abandon the race, which they did.   Chris D toy box eastport, md
