Search the internet for anchor tests. You"ll find several sites with test
data describing setting results and holding power in various types of
bottoms.

Anyone care to share their views on Bruce vs plow anchors.Oh, and what
weights are effective. My interest is in one for my 25 Coronado

I've done this, but as most of the tests caution, the behavior of anchors in
real life may differ significantly from what the tests show. This is what
prompted my question.

Thanks to all of you who have responded thus far. Hope more will continue to
contribute.

hint: bigger is LOTS better.

anchor weight = 10x chain weight, despite what bathtub sailors tell ya.
