Option #1
Connect to the nose/end and use wire or zip tie to the other end.... Something that you can breakaway when pulling up HARD. Then the other end that is connected solid will pull it out the opposite direction.

Option #2
Tie a rope or cable from each end with a Ring or QUIK link that will slide from noise to tail... Connect you chain to the ring or quick link. This way you don't have to pull hard to break the wire or zip tie.

Thanks for the tips. I just ordered a new anchor and line. Once it arrives, I am going to find some suitable zips and rig it per Option #1.

Gonna head to Fast Lane this weekend and chat with them about the sail. I want to physically see it, how its rigged, how it works, and see if its going to cause any issues. Per everyones comments, I dont think it will, but I like to be cautions with such things.
