I'm the new owner of a Beneteau 373, and am tempted to improve the anchoring tackle it came with, though I'll admit I haven't even used it once yet. It has a delta style anchor on it now, on a roller with windlass. I can't read the weight on the anchor, but it looks like maybe 25 lbs (maybe 30?) with around 25-30 feet of chain and another 75-100 feet of nylon. My old boat was a bit smaller (35 ft.) with MUCH lower freeboard/windage, and I used a 25lb CQR with short (but oversized) length of chain, and mostly nylon as my primary setup... short chain because I didn't have a windlass and had to deploy/haul-in/stow the anchor by hand. I also own a fortress anchor which (imho) makes a lousy primary anchor, but an outstanding anchor to leave in a locker for the rare occasion you need to carry out a 2nd anchor in a dinghy for one reason or another... lightweight, easy to deploy, corrosion-resistant. Anyhow, I'm wondering what other 373 owners use as their primary anchors. I live in the northeast and am somewhat of a fair-weather sailor... so I'm not likely to need an anchor that'll let me sleep well through a hurricane at anchor (if that's even possible). I need more than a lunch hook though, since often I'll anchor for a few nights at a time. I anchor mostly in mud/soft bottoms... occasionally with weeds (always a challenge). Mostly I'm in shallow harbors... 8-12 feet with decent holding. I don't need a lesson on anchoring, as I've done a bunch but am just curious what other 373 or maybe 393 owners are currently using (and whether they're happy or not with their current setups). Thanks.
