I have a 45 lb QPR Plough Anchor with 20ft of 14 mm chain and 40ft of 16mm rope fixed to welded mounting point. The advantage of the plough over the dunford is that it less cumbersome in the limited area of the well deck. My anchor is kept in a 3' by 10" flower planter under the starboard gunnel in the front well deck. This allows the anchor to be picked up and lowered over the side in a emergency. (Only had to do this once on the River Seven some years ago). Tend to lower it over the side when mooring on rivers, You never know when the local toerags are going to cut your mooring lines.
