Read the article about anchors in the West Marine catalog. I know of no advantage to using a SS anchor. They are pricey. For the bottom you are anchoring in I would favor a Danforth except where there is grass. Deltas sometimes lay on their sides and drag before they set but when they do set they hold well. Do you lower the anchor slowly while backing so that the chain does not tangle with the anchor? Capt. George
