A Danforth style (one manufacture is Fortress) or a simple mushroom anchor. The bottom terrain is also an important factor in determining the proper anchor.
u people are stupid if u cant answer this question....................just kiding:).....................i cant even answer this question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the US there are a variety of small commercial anchors for rec boats. The two most common I have encountered are the "Danforth" style (Most popular I think) and the "Mushroom" style. I have seen a lot of 5 gallon buckets filled with concrete used also.
The fluke style uses a stock at the crown to which two large flat surfaces are attached. The stock is hinged so the flukes can orient toward the bottom (and on some designs may be adjusted for an optimal angle depending on the bottom type.) The design is a burying variety, and once well set can develop an amazing amount of resistance. Its light weight and compact flat design make it easy to retrieve and relatively easy to store; some anchor rollers and hawse pipes can accommodate a fluke-style anchor.
