To hyperlink to the bottom of a page, you first need to create an anchor at the bottom of the page using an HTML element with an id attribute, such as <div id="bottom"></div>. Then, you can create a hyperlink that points to this anchor by using a URL fragment: <a href="#bottom">Go to Bottom</a>. When the link is clicked, the page will scroll to the specified anchor point at the bottom.
To anchor a swim raft, first, choose a location with stable, sandy, or rocky bottom. Use a heavy anchor, such as a sand or mushroom anchor, and attach it securely to the raft's anchor line. Lower the anchor to the bottom, ensuring it’s properly set by giving a gentle tug. Finally, adjust the anchor line length to keep the raft in a safe and desired position, allowing for some movement but preventing it from drifting too far.
A plow anchor is a type of anchor designed to dig into a soft bottom (like the blade of a plow) to hold the boat in place. It was developed in the early 1930s.
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.

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.
Dragging an anchor is never a good thing. It means you either have the improper anchor, scope or bottom to effectively anchor. Are you asking about a drogue anchor, which is like an underwater parachute? It is "dragged" behind a vessel to either slow up or stabilize the maneuverability of a boat.
