[C320-list] Rocna/Vulcan anchors question

[Jeff Hare]

Daryl, 

No firsthand experience, but we'll be switching from our 35# Delta to a Rocna 15kg this season most likely.  Doug's hull# 350 had the original short bow roller.  The newer hulls have a longer bow roller already but I don't recall when that became standard.  I know it was at least sometime after hull 476 because Al Ahlman had done this replacement on his boat at the time.  I suspect yours at 660 probably already has the longer roller.

I vote for Mantus, since you asked.  ;-)

I love my 35lb Mantus anchor. It has set on the first try every time and not dragged. That being said, I did need to replace my bow roller assembly with the longer one from Catalina Direct to avoid the point of the anchor from hitting the bow when I pulled it in tight. But now Mantus has a solution for that - called the Anchor Mate.
