What is the appropriate weight anchor for a 22 foot boat?

The weight of an anchor is not as important as the type and design of the anchor used. Finding the appropriate anchor will also depend on the type of boat and the composition of the bottom of the body of water it is to be used in. In addition, lighter anchors are (obviously) easier for the boater to handle. Check with local boat shops or experienced boaters to find the right anchor.


Why do ships anchor chains have one longer than the other?

A ship is held in position by the weight of the chain laying on the bottom. The anchor is used to grab on the bottom when laying anchor. After the anchor is down, several lengths of chain is paid out. The weight of the chain is what holds the ship. The circumstances determine how much chain is needed and which type of anchor to use. Therefore they don't BOTH need to be very long.
