We use a "Danforth" type and a Chene anchor as a secondary when we stay on the boat overnight. As previously mentioned, if you pull 180 deg. to the set line it will almost always release. We've never lost one (yet!) and the Chene is even easier to release. The Chene is mainly just to keep the boat from rotating excessively.

I've found if you pull straight up on the Danforth (before removing) it seems to keep it from setting excessively.

Just my thoughts.
