Question 3892 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Grass. Danforth-style lightweight anchors are designed to dig into and hold well in sandy or muddy bottoms. However, they do not perform as well in grassy or weedy bottoms, as the anchor flukes cannot easily penetrate and grip the vegetation. In these types of soft, vegetated bottoms, the anchor is more likely to skid or drag rather than set firmly, reducing its holding power. In contrast, heavier anchors or specialized weed anchors are better suited for grassy or weedy seafloors.
