Pete,
Just wondering if you have any chain between the anchor and the rode? Glad  
you are getting some use out of her. Have you picked a name yet?
Scratches add character. They are also easily fixed. Isn't boating  fun?
What you call fishtailing is what we call hunting. The R22 because of the  
hull shape is prone to this. The use of two anchors can reduce this phenom, but  
I doubt that you can eliminate it. It's just the nature of the hull.
