Danforth style anchor with 10mtrs chain

[irawnsley]

Uncertain of the make but looks pretty substantial. Weight around 10 kilos. The 10mm chain is in excellent condition. £35 ono pick up from Gosport

We refer to our Danforth anchor as our 'Picnic anchor', would never get off the boat or even off the deck when deployed.

But easy to deploy and retrieve provided there is no coral about.

Yes, we see all the anchor posts - - - but just for the record I have twice had to dive on a Danforth anchor and dig it out of the sea bed as that was the only way to recover it following a blow. I have also seen an anchor chain that was broken with a boat at one end and a buried Danforth at the other - mud bottom, anchor never found. Boat had been left for the winter so owner did not know what had happened but it was still safe as the second anchor was one of the much maligned CQRs.
