When you have nearly let all of your warp out, attach another much smaller bouy behind (boat side) the main bouy and attach the same way as the 'coat hanger', i.e., take a bight through the ring and over the bouy which will fix it in position but make it easily removable. Now let out a bit more warp, taking this bouy about 20mtrs, or whatever you prefer, away from the boat.

The other use I guess for this would be if you needed to leave in a hurry ( MOB or whatever ).

You could dump the rope or cut the rope and your anchor rope would be left buoyed off ready to retrieve when you got back.

 

Does this sound correct ? ( or does it only apply if your buoy is red coloured )

Why make it hard work?

 

Look on Anka Yanka site and they give the buoy dimentions for the weight of anchor.
