Bruce vs Danforth — which is better?
Bruce holds better in scope changes and wind shifts; Danforth holds slightly more weight in firm sand but rolls out on swing.
What size anchor for a 4.5m tinnie?
4–6kg for an aluminium tinnie under 5m, 8–10kg for fibreglass runabouts.
Do I need a chain leader?
Yes — 1–2m of 8mm galvanised chain dampens shock load and helps the anchor 'lie' to set faster.
