We have a mooring spot at our local river (St. Croix, Wisconsin), but have to set up our anchor system. I've been trying to do a bit of research, and am leaning toward a pyramid or a mushroom anchor (since the logistics of a drum filled with cement seems daunting, and maybe not as secure). Anyone have any suggestions? I see the rule of thumb is 5-10lbs per foot of boat - so for a Macgregor 26 - 130-260 pounds seems right, but then I see the anchor companies recommend quite a bit more weight - is this because they are thinking about heavier motor boats???
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks!
