I never anchor any of our Winni based boats, but we have a Whaler in Florida I do anchor often. I have two Danforth anchors. One for the bow and the smaller one for the stern to hold it off the beach. The larger Danforth holds great no matter what. The smaller stern anchor doesn't work very well at all when there's a moderate breeze. I'm going to buy a bigger Danforth for the stern next season.
