I have tried a bunch on anchors over the years and had some really bad luck with some.

For Winnipesaukee I have had the best luck with a very traditional fluke style with a good hunk of chain. The kind with the slip-ring are very good should you hook a root or rock, Overtons has them for super short money and NO shipping costs! One word of warning, do not buy an undersized model! Get the right size the first time and you will be happy.

I like the "Chene" models, they are good performers but make sure you use a chain even if they say it is not needed. You can also try the generic fluke anchors, they will certainly do the job for a second anchor.

Someone here recommended the "Digger" anchor to me and all the reviews are very good. But again you need to get the right size, from what I have read.

Good luck!
