• oh no an anchor thread
  • Welcome back, kids. Manson is made in NZ
    • Thanks Larry
    • Here are some interesting links about the Rocna quality issues
      • My goodness. Thanks for sharing that. Makes me glad I'm poor and bought the Manson for my Jaunty project.
  • If you have a sprit, the hoop might interfere
    • no bow sprit
  • Still like my 88 lb Delta
    • The Rocna or Manson will set when a Delta won't
      • Size matters, ???
        • That's what I'm thinking Dan
        • I agree Dan. Yes size matters.
          • when I switched the Rocna & Manson wasn't available yet
        • Weight is key!
          • The most important thing for me about anchoring isn't what, it's where.
            • Leaving the boat at anchor with 30 knots

          • Rocna (Canadian) is good for the Bahamas
            • Knowing the bottom is important
              • Having sailed and anchored for over forty years, I have three anchors for....
    • Is there a lot of grass down in the San Blas Islands?
      • Hmmm,, Cartagena to get work done
        • Wow. That is an incredible blue.
          • I guess I pushed the saturation too far.
  • I think I'm going for an Ultra.
    • You could buy a Rocna AND a Manson
    • I think you'd get more bang for the buck with a steel spade, if you don't want the hoop
    • Save your money, Dave - or at least spend it on fuel or booze, instead... (grin)
      • But it's so darn purty Jon.
  • Some infor on the Delta
    • We have 400 feet of 5/16 G4
