Yachtsman (Fisherman's) anchor
What size boat will a 12 pound fisherman's anchor be good for? Also how is the cross piece fixed in place? I have never used this type of anchor but recently became the owner of one and would like to use it for my Typhoon - if it is appropriate.
that would probably
be okay for lighter-duty use, but undersized in a blow.
Luke anchors (similar sort of anchor) recommends 2#/ft of waterline length for a storm anchor.
You may find one or two small holes in the stock for cotter pinning it in place on the shank.
