Best Anchor For Inflatable

[MALDONADO]

Hi there. I?m new on the boating world.

I need your help in order to know what?s the best anchor for a 9? dinguie.

I?ve heard danfort type anchors are not the best choice since they can damage the hull.

Thanks.

I like this one; no moving parts. $10 for the 2.2 pounder.

I generally like a claw type also.
But I routinely anchor is shallow spots with very sandy bottoms and have had claw and danforth's drag.

I got a box anchor from West Marine. It collapses to be somewhat flat so that it is easy to store. Once set, it doesn't move.

However, I would be reluctant to use it on a rocky bottom -- I'd be afraid it getting stuck.
