Most of the anchorages in our area are typically single anchor.
There are a few spots I have visited where a stern anchor is also used.
I had a stern anchor left over from a previous boat that didn't work very well and gave it away.
I need to get a larger one for the current boat (45 ft. LOA, 40K lbs.).
Conditions: 20 to 40 ft. depth, sand, tucked inside coves, mostly mild-moderate conditions with other boats, sometimes in close proximity.
A few questions for people who have experience using stern anchors:
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

A few questions for people who have experience using stern anchors:
- -What size are you using, and your boat size?
- -Anyone using a Fortress (I wouldn't as a primary, but for a stern anchor they are light weight, and appear to be easily taken apart for storage).
- -How much chain do you have in your rode?
- -What size chain link?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
