[C320-list] Anchor & chain size?

[russgm at yahoo.com]

chris and co...
On my new boat(C387) I purchased the Spade, whcih is a wonderful anchor(see Practical Sailor etal), the Rocna appears to be the next step in this new generation of anchor.  Basically, its a copy-cat of the Spade with the addition of a roll bar, maybe an improvement(I haven't seen enough testing to know, thatis why I went with the Spade). But in my research the one to watch is not the Rocna, its the Manson Supreme, who has copycated the Rocna, tweaked it a bit, and done so at a reduced price!

As with anything like this "Google around" a bit and you will find out more and more info about them, including what crusiers have to say about them.

Watch the video of their holding tests.  It is pretty impressive.
