The absolute best anchor is the Horizon claw anchor. The eleven pound one will hold your boat in any seas you care to be out in. They are a one piece anchor that will not foul on the way down. Eight feet of 1/4" chain is all you need with this style of anchor. Buy a 600 ft spool of 5/8 to 1/2 rope an anchor retrieval system and you are good to go. The anchor will cost you 40.00 unless you catch it on sale. That being said everyone else that replys will tell you to get a Danforth.
