The boat has a couple of undersized danforth-like anchors. I think they are 8 and 12 lbs and the 12 pounder has maybe 10 feet of chain. These two anchors may be fine for an afternoon but I wouldn't want to depend on them overnight.
For Southern California conditions a Bruce appears to be the anchor of choice but I can't imagine how to stow it on deck. I have to admit that I also have trouble imagining dropping a 20-30 pound anchor over the pulpit or lifelines, with some 10 to 20 feet of 1/4" chain. A serious bow roller setup would seem to be the answer but I don't think that would work without removing the pulpit.
Any clean and efficient solutions I've overlooked ?
Thanks,
