Laying the anchor atop the line in the locker works very well for most folks most of the time. However, when things get a bit snotty out there and the bow starts jumping up and down the anchor can rattle around a bit. A few pieces of DriDeck is cheap insurance against chipped or scratched gelcoat in the bow locker.
On our 13 we keep the anchor and line in a milk crate under the forward thwart but we seldom have more than two aboard. On the 19 we use DriDeck in the locker.
