Get a CQR and a Danforth anchor. The Bruce is fine but is less allround than a CQR.

Keep the kedge anchor, remove the cross piece so it can be stowed flat as an emergency anchor or for secondary use to stream astern for lying in a tidal channel

I would highly recommend the Bruce with a break away set up. It will save the anchor by breaking away and coming out backwards. Simple to set up with a D-ring shackle to connect the chain to the bottom of the anchor then wrapping stainless steel lock wire to the end of the anchor to hold it firmly with some play in the anchor chain. Now if your anchor gets stuck you can back down on it opposite of the direction and break the wire free causing the anchor to flip over. You can search break away ancho set up. Hope this helps.

You are guys lucky!!!! You have got different Ankers for different bottom. Rock bottom is where you can hook and loose your anker. It's cheapest anker. Bruce anker is for sandy bottom. When your boat is dragged by gale it would digg deeper and deeper in a sand. Anker with welded ends is for coral bottom. Remember!!!! Never anker deeper than 10 m deep. You would loose your any anker. Always every time check your anker fixing mechanism. Every time you throwing it out of bort!

Whilst the Bruce anchor was pretty good in its day the are far better anchors available today. eg the Rochna for example.
Even more important is lots of heavy anchor chain. A minimum of 50 metres x 12mm dia plus a similar length of 100mm dia braided nylon rope.
Yaba is a very heavy boat with lots of windage. Do not economise on your anchors and carry a minimum of 3.

The shot at 2:41 looks almost as if Ben is standing in front of his AC75
