Out of curiosity, examined visible anchors yesterday carried on the bows of boats berthed at K dock at the Vallejo (CA) Municipal Marina.
Of 61 boats, 52 had bow anchors. Eight had two anchors. Most boats were in the 35-to-50-foot range, some longer and some shorter. About equal number power and sailboats, including a couple of motorsailers and one houseboat.
Anchor types and numbers were as follows:
Bruce-like: 9
CQR: 24
Delta-like:9
Danforth-like:16
Other: 1 (flat triangle plate with 180-degree rollbar)
Boats carrying multiple anchors:
3 with Bruce and CQR
3 with two CQRs
2 with CQR and Danforth
The newest anchors were almost all Deltas.
