Since I use my 18 for spearfishing I’m constantly anchoring and it’s super important that it holds because I’m out of the boat. For me I hate pulling heavy chain and big anchors. I’ve found a light anchor with at least a boats length of chain holds really well. I run 23’ of chain on my 18 with a slide ring anchor and have had good success. The extra length keeps the anchor parallel to the bottom and protects the rope from chaffing.
