rode rider idea

You don’t appear to understand the simple physics underlying anchor & rode dynamics.
It takes a certain force to elevate the Sentinel weight and rode. This is force that is NOT acting upon the anchor, hence the sentinel is still assisting.
You do lose elasticity once the rode is straightened out (sentinel elevated & rode taut).
Don’t expect even a sizable sentinel to make up for inadequate scope.
Respectfully,
Gord
