Re: Anchor Size
 

I have an 8# on the bow with about 6' of chain. My serious fishing anchor is a 13# with 15' of chain. I usually throw that in the boat when were working around the breakers.

Re: Anchor Size
 

i carry two 15 lb in mine with 6 ft chain and 100 ft rope each. Only reason is cause i use same two anchors on all my boats so they hold up to my 25' ers.

I use a Danforth 5H high tensile with 6' of chain. It grabs and holds very well .

Whatever anchor i found while diving and 20 feet of 3/8 chain. I think the chain is more important than the hook. We have a lot of soft bottom down here so that might not be true everywhere. I also use the anchor ball to retrieve.

I run two 8lb danforth types with 4 feet of stainless chain, and 100 ft of line each.

I have a 20 pound "navy style" for the bow and a 12 pound "navy style" I use to keep the stern off the beach.

No need for chain with these.

I have 2 in my boat. The first is a Danforth style (weight unknown) with about 12' of chain and 200' of rope. The second is a navy style, 12 lb. with 6' of chain and 100' of rope. I think chain is incredibly important to keep the proper scope on the anchor rode. Blue water sailers often use all chain rodes.

8 pound danforth with 6 feet of chain.
have 2 for when i beach but i want to get a sand spike.

anybody have experience with these?
