Mark...we used our
delta sucessfully in the Bahamas on an all chain
rode for 5 winters in the Bahamas. I have a
CQR also on a combination chain/nylon
rode as I've found the
CQR doesn't stay set as well without the extra stretch provided by the nylon in tough conditions. Given that most of the anchorages in the Bahamas will be in less than 20 ft. (usually 6-10 ft.) you can probably do 50ft of chain + nylon for your secondary
anchor and not run into any coral abrasion issues on the
rode. Plus two all chain
rodes in the bow of a CS36 is gonna be a lot of unnecessary weight.
If I had to do it again...I would go for a Spade/Rocna or Manson as my secondary rather than the
CQR but if you read the anchoring threads here you'll find a considerable diversity of opinion.
Assuming you will have a
windlass...my main advice would be to make your primary
anchor well oversized so that you don't need to worry and so the need to put out a second will only be when extremely poor conditions are predicted or when a Bahamian moor is required due to strong current/tidal flow.
