Second anchor

Dave R · 07-18-2013, 09:01 AM

Compared to Danforth-style anchors, I like the smaller size and more toe-friendly design of a Lewmar claw as a stern anchor at sandbars. Mine is only 4.4 lbs and does a great job with my 6000 lb boat. It is very easy to kedge with and very easy to store. It buries itself almost completely leaving very little exposed to injure a foot. I use 4 feet of 1/4" chain and about 50 feet of 3/8" nylon 3 strand for a rode. I bet the whole thing cost me less than 40 bucks.
