yea, but i don't want to bring more "stuff" on board, if i go with a danforth again, I might just drill a hole in the heal, and tie a light line with a small bouy (which would float straight up) to it so if its stuck I can pull it up from the heal, free it, then use the windlass.
But again i am now adding another 60-100 feet of (light) line, but its another thing i dont want. Or i'm adding a ring and ball, and those balls aren't small either.

I really am interesting in opinions of other types of anchors and how they perform, for me the danforth has those other drawbacks i mentioned.

Thanks.
