Anchor sizing should be interpreted as a guide only.

Many factors influence anchor size selection ie, whether the boat is a heavy displacement or a light displacement craft and how much windage the vessel has.

The chain size, weight and length are critical to anchor performance and if in doubt use a larger chain.

Finally, the vessel usage should also be factored in ie whether the anchor will only be used as a lunch pick in fair weather for day outings or indeed whether the vessel will be going on extended coastal or offshore cruising.

If in any doubt about anchor selection always use a bigger anchor, in bad weather or motoring failure, it is the only thing you can rely on to save the lives of you and your crew.
