Richter Anchor
I have one of these for my 19' G3. Works pretty well with the chain and proper rope length (recommend the 18# anchor for up to 24'. They recommend a 4:1 depth to rope ratio for a good set. Claim that anchor should hold up to 30 knot wind...not sure about that). I have a 6' coated chain attached to the business end. Still somewhat pricey (about $75) but I really wanted something that could be easily stowed away not consuming to much space and could work in a variety of conditions. The only problem I had with it not holding was fishing the Cameron Jetties in 3' to 3.5' swells with a fairly strong south/southwest wind. There were a lot of boats and probably didn't allow enough rope to properly hold due to a limited area to set-up. To dang rough to be fishing there in that boat anyway. If it does hang up you just keep tension on your anchor line and drive forward allowing the anchor to free itself. Never got it hung-up to where I couldn't release it.
