R43 Anchor

Hi R1/43 owners, has anyone swapped out their anchor for a Rocna or Mantus? I bought a Rocna 33 but too big. Wondering if the 25 (55 pund) would fit.
Thanks!!

Still using the stock Lewmar 44lb anchor

Thanks. Does the 44lb Lewmar work well for you? We anchor a lot

We're at a marina most of the time, but we do anchor out on our trips to Alaska where it's often in deep water settings, typically 80 to 100 ft water depth. So with 300 ft of chain we're rarely at recommended scope but even in strong winds we've not had an issue except once in Fords Terror where we encountered a williwaw with super strong gusts and ourselves and all three boats that were there with us dragged our anchors.
