I have the room to carry six or more anchors and can afford them but for the PNW I carry three and that is probably one too many. Primary on the bow a big SS Ultra it looks good and works well and relatively easy to clean mud off. This is attached to 160 foot of moderate sized chain and 250+ foot of good braided nylon. In 5 years of use I never needed another anchor for holing purposes. In the bilge I carry a fair sized(original type ) aluminum spade and a FX 37 fortress for special and back up use. I would like a Bulwaga but they are ugly and not so easy to store. Having boated over 40 years on the East coast I believe the same combination with much less chain would work well.
