Benvenuto nel forum.

L'armadio standard di ancoraggio accetta un'ancora di tipo fluke, come Danforth e l'alluminio Fortress FX-11. L'armadio di ancoraggio X è più piccolo dell'armadio M, quindi utilizzo il più piccolo, il FX-7. Se si desidera utilizzare un'altra ancoretta di stile, è necessario montarlo all'esterno, su un rullo o su un altro supporto e avvitare il coperchio dello scompartimento per la parte della catena della corda.

Welcome to the forum.

The standard anchor locker will accept a fluke type anchor, like Danforth and the aluminium Fortress FX-11. The X anchor locker is smaller than the M locker, so I use the smallest one, the FX-7. If you want to use another style anchor, you will need to mount it outside, on a roller or some other mount, and notch the locker cover for the chain portion of the rode.

Hello Enmiga

Where are you living in Italy? I was with my :macm: sayling around in Italy as well.

I bought the Jambo anchor. It fits perfectly. Jambo is called to be one of the best anchors. Becouse it grabs so well. Jambo is made in Austria, cost some money, but you can store it and you have good feelings for savety.

Hello and good wind at all
Maybe you could try your luck in Spain. There are many MacGregors here.
