We do that on a regular basis since some of the bays we anchor in are fairly narrow so the waves from the outside always come straight down them even thought the wind in the bay can be off at an angle. So we use the stern anchor to hold us into the waves. We use a Fortress for our stern anchor. It's sized to be the boat's main anchor but it's very light so it's easy to deploy which encourages us to use it rather than enduring a rolling motion for hours on end.
