Anchor Size

[erebus]

Spent some of the winter putting a new lewmar windlass on my 23 Sceptre.
My Sceptre has a nice teak pulpit for hanging the anchor, and previously I used a typical danforth, but it never really fit right and with the bow access on the Sceptre and a tiny wife, it was kind of a pain in the ass.

The anchor pulls up through a slot in the pulpit so, it doesn't stick way out over the bow, which is kind of nice. No typical bow roller, its got a roller in the slot.

Anyway, I'm switching over to a Lewmar Delta Anchor, and I have in my possession a 9# and a 14#.
The 9# fits fine, but I'm not sure its heavy enough.
The 14# I'd have to make some modifications to the pulpit, and then it would fit "pretty good".

So do you think the 9# would be sufficient for a 23 Sceptre with a bracket and a 225 ETEC?
There's 10' of chain on the rode, and I only anchor up at the beach for afternoons here on Cape Cod.

Just looking for some opinions on the weight. Ive already got the anchors, and really don't want to go back to the danforth. Not sure it would work with the line angle from the windlass anyway.

Thanks!

Here's a pic of the original setup. Windlass is now where the Hawse pipe was.
