I just took delivery of a new 2008 Hanse 350 and it didn't come with an anchor. We will be sailing mostly in the Chesapeake Bay which has a very muddy bottom. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Johannes - First, where on the Chesapeake are you? I'm in Deltaville, VA. Second, a Delta 35 lb. is a good choice for the Bay. Add 20'--30' of chain and 200' of line and you'll be fine.

Thanks Doug,

I bought a Delta 35 today.

We're up in Annapolis, MD. Quite a bit north of you. But maybe we'll see you on the bay some day.
