FWIW Doug, and for summer cruising a 33-2 in Lake Ontario, I’ve found that my 10kg BRUCE with 50’ Of chain is more than adequate, and is probably as much weight as I’d like in the bow anyway. (Also, as much as I’d like to retrieve without a windlass) My dad (experienced ocean sailor and Great Lakes) told me that the we’d rarely extend the chain at anchor and he was right. Had experimented with a larger anchor and it did not stow as neatly, which, overall was more of an issue in practice. So, my $.02 - you are probably more than fine with the smaller, easier to stow option. Dave
