I lash mine to the inner forestay.
In Response To: The problem is not how to get the anchors off the bow ()
I set it on a old piece of towel to protect the deck. I've got a #44 SL Claw (bruce style) so there are no moving parts. It is a PITA to move but so is having your boat come adrift. My mooring was in a ridiculously protected cove so I was never concerned about the kind of wave action that Maine Sail documented, just chafe.
