Nope. It came with something like a 20 pound Danforth. I replaced it with an 80 pound Manson. 
In Response To: Dave, I thought your trawler had an Ultra anchor? ()
I insisted on two things. I wanted to know where I was with state of the art electronics, and when I anchored I wanted to stay put.
My electronics were $12,000 (at wholesale) worth of Simrad, and 200' of 3/8" chain on that Manson.
BTW, the electronics were amazing. Best thing I ever bought. It saved our butt in pea soup fog several times. The radar could even see debris in the Hudson River when we headed to Albany, and the AIS told us where barges were when the radar couldn't.
