The thing I don't like about anchoring from both ends is that when the wind comes from the side the load on the anchors can be very high.
Pointy end fwd? Could be a big advantage to have the bow downwind if you don't like sailing back and forth. And the stern cleats would set up an excellent bridle arrangement.
But drag form a changing tide? Fly stuff I'd say or hardly any difference w a FD hull. I think I could reach my cruising speed going backwards w a RH prop. Don't think I'd be strong enough to control the rudder though.
