We also have a Fortress 37 KD and in a bag, along with the 50'/150

larger-than-dinghy (maybe 25#) Danforth-style have been used in the past
when we've wanted to not swing with the current, as dual stern anchors.
We had to tighten the lines from time to time, but they were OK to the
purpose.

I had a Fortress but found it'd plane in a current on its way down on
occasion. It was rather odd seeing an anchor not head straight or almost
straight down. I think mine was a 23 or about 15 lbs. I am going
entirely by memory. It worked well and would have been a boon if I ever
had to row an anchor out. Heck, I could almost swim this one out if
needed (never tried).

My guess is your 37 would be highly effective in the bottoms that
Danforth style anchors work best in.

Given you're in the Bahamas, doesn't anybody use a Bahamian moor to
limit boat swing?
