Dave, I use a danforth as my second anchor; 35 lb CQR as primary; last Saturday I rode out a line of several squalls which came from 180 degrees opposite of my primary anchor position, the danforth held through all of them; while several boat, which had set only a bow anchor struggled and drug anchors; we were in about 14 ft. of water with a mud bottom... so, the danforths do work; although, if I were in sand or rock, I might want one of those fortresses!

Quite a pair of testimonials... And some interesting replies. Based on the replies here and much of what I've read online, there is little point in having a danforth type when a larger and smaller rocna, delta or Bruce type would cover both bower and kedge applications. What does surprise me is the hype around the fortress, which many find troublesome or impossible to set in certain conditions. (As I did) Will play around with mine a bit more, but will certainly invest in something more consistently reliable. Thanks. Dave. This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
