I hear you Dave. Down here in Newport I see
Mega Yachts all the time. They ALL have SS plow ...or Danforth type anchors. They are pretty..no doubt about it. The Mega yachts don't anchor out much.
I think the galvanized anchors have a crude..rough surface and maybe
Hold better in the bottom. The SS anchors are polished and smoother, and maybe more slippery....don't really know as my experience has been with galvanized. CQR and Danforth..depending on the bottom
Plenty of galvanized chain..then nylon works good.
ALL chain is best if you can carry the weight foreward when cruising in salt water. NB
