What size anchor are people using for F26s? Thanks for the info.

13 lb danforth style, used mostly in sand. What is the bottom composition where you anchor/cruise?

We typically anchor in mud. Danforths work well. The anchor currently on the boat seems a little small, but I just might be a bit conservative when it comes to anchor size.

Fortress aluminum danforth works the best of anything I've ever used. Lighter than galv steel, but hook better for same size!

Not cheap, but I own 2 (1 on F32 & 1 on 26), and they work great.

What size are you using on the 26?
