Old anchors... new generation anchors...
It's all a bunch of whooey!
Tie a chunk of my grandma's Christmas fruitcake to your chain and throw that overboard. It has it's own specific gravity and you might as well be bolted to the ocean floor.

(always wanted to contribute to one of these anchor threads)

Seriously, our boat came with a 100 pound custom spade anchor that sets lickity-split. We're firm believers in going with a slightly heavier version.
