[C320-list] Fortress anchor

[Rod Boer]

Scott,

I have the same issue with the Fortress.  It doesn't seem to set well on the 
Chesapeake.  I use it as a second anchor.  My primary anchor is a Delta but 
if I had to do it over again I would get a Bruce.  I often anchor with boats 
that have a Bruce and regardless what the data indicates, they seem to set 
easily and stay put.
