I have a Lewmar pro 1000 windlass with 30' of 5/16 chain and an 18lb Super Hooker anchor. No problem holding even on a rougher day unless the bottom is very soft (silt).
Get the true Danforth anchor as the shaft of the hooker is thick and requires an initial push to fall from the roller. My previos danforth 16lb worked just as well and dropped without an initial little push. (lost the anchor over hacketts somewhere due to a failed swivel)
