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.

You are caught in a storm in your boat engine stops what should you do?
Deploy a storm anchor (sea anchor) from the bow; something that will slow the boat's drift downwind. Something like a small drogue parachute in the water. The wind will cause the boat to drift, and the waves to rise; the storm anchor will slow down the drift, and keep the boat pointed into the wind. Bow-on is the safest direction for your boat to meet the waves. Otherwise, the wind would tend to push the boat sideways, and you could easily capsize.
