Joe, for what you describe you are planning on doing, that anchor should do just fine. If you think you may be possibly caught needing more secure footing, there are several recently introduced anchors that may serve you better; Rocna etc, but at considerably more cost. As others are pointing out, more weight means more security and the more chain in the rode, the better the anchor will perform.
You might also consider installing a windlass as, unless you are a built like a windlass, manually hauling bigger anchors and more chain can be a real slog. I used a 15 kg. Bruce with 150’ of 5/16” chain backed by 200’ of ⅝” nylon rode with a Lofrans windlass on my LF38 for the 17 years I owned her and never had a problem. Rich Knowles Nanaimo, BC INDIGO LF38 Boatless!
