Fortress Anchors

I agree with vic, I have a Rocna 10 and have had no issues with dragging in any conditions. It is nice to have an anchor that you can throw over set and don't have to worry about doing it right. It's also nice to go to an anchorage and sit and watch crew members of other vessels scream and holler at each other about not doing something right while they anchor. I can sit and smile knowing my Rocna will hold in the worse of conditions.

i took victor's advice and got the Bruce. but i waited till the night before our first trip to the coast and the smallest one WM had was the 22lb one. i love it. as victor said, it sets easy and holds like no tomorrow.

I have yanked both the claw style and later, a 25 lb rocna, right out in sharp squalls on two styles of Mac. I took the rocna to a 2nd hand place to hawk the blasted thing. Brand new. :p
Once something with a curved up or cupped fluke style comes out it ain't resetting. Grass and stiff mud are the culprits.
The rocna is better constructed then the delta, but the delta is what I now carry. If you cruise the Keys be careful with the Rocna and claw style anchors.
