You don't need, nor should you use, an anchor to sail away from a dock.

Attach the line from a small anchor to a cleat on the front of your
boat.
Row the anchor out with your dinghy. Drop the anchor three or four boat
lengths in front of your bow. Untie the dock lines and pull on the
anchor
line till your over the anchor. Weigh the anchor and off you go...

Cheers,
