Anchor advice and update on Sabre Knight

Sabre Knight is almost ready for its launch next week after just less than a year's restoration and I'm buying the last few pieces of kit. Can anyone tell me what anchor size is recommended? She'll be moored on Windermere for a year and then Liverpool Marina so I need an anchor that is future proof.
Thanks

Dear FrankS
Congratulations on your restoration. I can’t offer advice on anchors, but I do reiterate my offer to buy you lunch at the Windermere Motor Boar Racing Club
www.wmbrc.co.uk over the summer if you arrive in Sabre Knight.
Best wishes
Richard

Hi Richard,
I managed to get a 40 foot mooring at Ferry Nab and all going well it should be arriving there in the next 10 days, thanks for your offer and I'll be in touch as soon as it's there.

For what it's worth just google what size anchor do I need? You will get plenty of results. I would suggest erring on the heavy side - no one regrets having an anchor too big when they really need it. You can always carry a lighter kedge as well for safe anchorages where you can move quickly if it drags.
