I gave up on the danforth and chain because I ended up with a few dings in the gel of the compartment where it lived for storage when loading it back in. Most of our areas are sandy bottom.

Box anchor works the majority of the time and I love the way it folds up - however I did have an 'oh shit' moment anchored in shallow (4-5') water and the winds kicked up - it drug a nice trench across the bottom and put the boat in a bad spot.
