I have a 15Kg/33# Bruce which fits fine. I bought a 35# Manson Supreme but couldn't get it to fit along side the Bruce. So now I'm thinking of adding a 35# CQR but want to make sure it fits before paying the shipping.
Does anyone else with a 31 have the 35# CQR? If so, what is your second anchor? A picture of the fit would be nice.
I have since switched to a Spade. My second anchor is a Danforth 20H that lives on the pulpit. I'm not crazy about the mounting but haven't come up with a better solution yet.
Our second anchor is a Delta 25#, and our third (at the stern anchor locker) is a Fortress FX-16. I recently gave away our fourth anchor and rode, a Fortress FX-11, to a friend.
I would prefer to have a Bruce/claw-style as our second anchor, instead of two plows. I can't justify a Rocna/Manson at this time.
On our 31 ( 1988 hull# 26) we have a 10kg Bruce on the port roller and a 35lbs genuine CQR on the STBD roller. The CQR uses the Neptune Windless. I manage the Bruce by hand. No issue stowing either. The Bruce takes a bit of twisting to get past the bobstay but not a big deal.

The Island Lady, 1989, #56, has a 35 CQR on the starboard and a Bruce on the port. Both fit nicely. It has a Muir electric windlass to help with all the chain on the CQR.
The stern anchor that lives on the stern rail is a Danforth 20H ( certainly acts as a great break in an emergency).
