Delta on bow roller Danforth anchor mount on bow pulpit

The setup is fine around the San Francisco bay. I have considered all chain - but that's a lot of weight at the bow. I may go to 100' of chain added to the existing setup (future).

Secondary/Tandem Anchor Setup

Jan 2005:

Secondary anchor at the bow is a 24# West Marine Traditional anchor (like a Danforth but lot less expensive). It's heavy, unwieldy, has all kind of sharp corners to snag on lines and sails and is a pain to stow. But... in the San Francisco and delta mud it holds like a charm.

This anchor is normally in the anchor locker. It can also be carried on an anchor-bracket on the bow pulpit. I am experimenting with using this in a tandem setup with the delta anchor.

A second 20' chain/ 150' rode combo, anchor shackles and tie-wraps are carried in a bucket in the stern lazarette.
