that they are following West Marine's lead and offering to replace those anchors, they probably could have gotten around this, but it shows commitment to re-establishing their brand. No doubt the cost of this return policy was figured into the purchase, as well it should have been. We're all better off with more suppliers out there competing for our business.

I love my Canadian-made Rocna, it has held where I've previously dragged both a Bruce and a CQR. I do think these next-gen anchors are a significant step up in performance. I considered the Manson as well, but the shank was too high for my roller and anchor locker hatch.
