I would research so called "modern" anchors before building around a CQR. Rocna, Manta, and I think, Delta is a pre-modern model but similar. Supposedly performance is much better than the Bruce and plow. I have a 10kg bruce with 50' heavy chain plus 150' rode, sail out of whitby. Came with the boat, seems fine even if - theoretically anyway - at the lower end of size for my 33-ii. I think the big pile o' chain really helps. I don't have a good second anchor. Have considered plunking down for a Rocna. Though I have a small fortress as a lunch hook, I agree with Mike on the danforth. An awkward nuisance to stow, and really ineffective in some conditions. the fortress has proven to be hard to set the few times I've tried.

It has worked well from the Thousand Islands to the Bahamas. I have sat through storms with gusts to 50 kts. and never drug. I also carry a Bruce 45 and a Danforth 35 but am strongly thinking of removing them from the boat.

I am looking for advice an choosing the proper size and type of anchor to use. My fabricator wants to know what I am going to use to properly size the fabrication. I am leaning towards the Delta or a cqr/plow style of anchor. I am in the Great Lakes, so most of my anchoring is in weeds, mud, clay and some sand. > > Sent from my iPad > >> On Oct 21, 2016, at 9:14 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: >> >> Send CnC-List mailing list submissions to >> cnc-list@cnc-list.com >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to
