Since our 45-lb CQR dragged (thank you, GPS alarm) when a dam on the Tom Bigbee opened the sluice gates during a rainy night in 2006, my admiral has resisted anchoring. She puts up with it when necessary, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. AND there is no shopping on the hook - oh, yeah! So today I loaded her up a new Rocna 72-lb beauty into the bow pulpit as our first choice, general purpose anchor. It is one size or so larger than called for our boat, but it fits the pulpit just fine. In 27 years of owning this boat, this is the first brand-new anchor I have bought. My three FX-37s, the Hereshoff type, and two knock-off CQRs I use in my "hurricane moor web" all came from eBay or consignment stores or flea markets at a fraction of their original costs. But I couldn't find this Rocna anywhere but retail in the short time between now and the start of our trip to south FL. I have the names of all you guys who spoke well of this anchor, and I am going to sic her on you if it fails to perform. :) Rich Gano Calypso (GB42 Hull # 295) Panama City area, FL
