Simple is not always better, that's not good advice, I wish it were sadly life is weird sometimes complex is better. Problem is pro fishermen out every day in 1900s set the industry standard we unconsciously follow and Maybe go with simple cause it saves labor and parts and cause they have different skills like will notice if anchor slips, amateur mariners with kids aboard maybe don't want to follow these very different pro fishermen, so we should examine our choices..... In a hurricane or windstorm one knows say wind is from SE for 24 hours till passes then that wonderful dropoff as worst is past, so Line of 3 30lb anchors each chained 10 feet apart won't get tangled and to be careful I can swim down to check and push em deeper. I wonder if there is Groupthink of sailers not wanting even 1 ugly huge wide 50lb anchor as wide as PingPong table jutting out or jumble of few anchors on deck instead get CuteShiny 30lb one. Be honest, millionaires could afford pingpong table and huge anchor motor but aesthetics Groupthink bars that... like the Groupthink against small catamarans bars clearly better sailing boats ha. For myself, when I super need anchoring, like in a hurricane if get stuck in some Louisiana bay to not have megaanchors in hurricane is even worst advice maybe. Consider, if little anchors slip 1% of time at anchor that's pretty risky, for some it's 10% they experience ,, that's accepting hi risk rather than have uglier 50-100lb ping pong table anchor, are we sure it's not mindset not logic... I am often a big bozo, just exploring the issues.. My e25 fixed lil keel is mostly pushed by wind when in a bay, no tide to push me around...
