Select anchor manufacturer and type for your anchoring conditions, e.g., mud, sand, etc. and look at their charts for boat size, weight and wind speed for the recommendation. My primary anchor is a Manson Supreme with its own chain and rode at the bow and back-up anchors include a Fortress and Delta with chain and rode.
The h320 came with a 22# danforth which soon proved to be inadequate as the boats like to sail at anchor. We upgraded to a 35# CQR and are very please with its performance.
Are you looking for what was shipped with the boats or what you should be using on your boat, which depends on what and where your anchoring.
My '05 H33 came with a Danforth, which is adequate to meet the safety requirements of an anchor. It works for an afternoon or if you need to hold the boat.
I anchor out overnight so wanted something better and bought a Rocna with bigger / longer chain and rode. The Danforth works well as a stern anchor when I want to keep the boat from swinging around.
