On the flight home from Annapolis last night, my Mom and I were discussing spare anchors. She said that in all her years of sailing, she and my Dad never used a second anchor to anchor, and never lost and anchor. However, they always had a spare.
On my current boat, I don't have a spare anchor. I want to get an anchor to use as a spare in case I lose an anchor to fouling. It has never happened yet, but could really run a vacation if I was to foul the only anchor that I have.
I have the CQR that I took off the boat and replaced with my Excel and could use that as a spare, but the thing is huge and heavy.
Looking for opinions and advice...
