Hi after having to let go my anchor and chain yesterday
 does anyone know the weight of the delta anchor on a 385? Im surprised there is no emergency recovery on the Quick windlass or am I missing something?

Pretty sure it is about 15kg. 20kg Delta on my 458 which I had swapped for a Lewnar Epsilon on commissioning.
However my primary anchor is now a 12.5kg Viking 15 which has large surface area and is made of high tensile steel. I think that the geometry of the anchor is more important than weight as I'm looking for something that sets and resets quickly. The weight of chain (2.5kg/m so typically 100kg) vastly exceeds the anchor weight.
