my big anchor problem is where i keep my boat we get a fair number of day trippers, they typically use 3 to 1 scope and assume everyone else does too. so when the wind shifts i swing around on 75 feet of rope and chain and they swing on 40 if they where closer than 50 feet or so we rub, yes it has happened once and been close a few others. i have started dual anchor one off each end, and anchoring close enough to the edge that they wont anchor behind me. my point is dont assume what scope they are on make sure you have room.
