FG,
A sash weight is a weight from old style double hung windows. They were inside the window sash and counterbalanced the weight of the window (hence- Sash weight). They may be a litle hard to find unless you have a second hand store around that deals in building materials.

Float tube anchors
Any of you guys and gals that use kickboats, tubes, etc ever use anchors and if so what kind?

Get about 12' of heavy chain fold it over about 4 times and tie a rope through one end. It works like a charm. If it is too heavy just use less chain.

Sweeet! I was using 4 chains of about 4-6 links on a big carabiner. I am thinking of wrapping some duct tape around it when on rivers, any opinion on that?
Vocelli, Thanks, it's good to know from others experience.

When I had a float tube I used a sash weight, which JC dipped in some liquid rubber stuff.
A thin nylon cord clipped to a D-ring worked fine. Whole thing was small enough to stick into one of the tubes side pockets when not in use.

Cannonball downrigger weight, 3#. Keeps me steady in a light breeze. Aaything stronger the waves annoy me. I have a real float tube anchor but it is a PITA to use.
RW here,
We think alike DG. I too use an old downrigger ball for my Old Town solo canoe. If it's too windy to hold, I shouldn't be out there with a 1-weight anyway.
Later, RW
