Nobody mentioned the Ultra? I see them at the Annapolis boat show and they

I can attest to the difficulty of setting a Fortress unless set in relatively
calm conditions, even with a soft mud bottom.
It was one of 2 anchors I used when I anchored out in a local creek during
Hurricane Irene's visit to NC in 2011. I set it and a bigger Danforth (~50 lbs)

If you are still looking for more opinions on anchors and anchoring, there was

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

I recently had my first anchor test. We were in Coechles harbor on Shelter
Island overnight and a 50+ knot squall blew through at 2AM. I have a Rocna (I
believe it is the 27 lb) with 20’ of chain and I had about 70’ of line which is
about 6:1 in that area. I was one of the few boats that did
FWIW, I have had a few groundings with my board almost all the way up (about 6"
of board exposed--I do not grind it up completely within the trunk since with
sea critters, it can get stuck there) and many more with it down of course!
The only time I saw keel damage was when I hit a submerged c

You want to watch some anchor tests? Here are some anchor tests. Lots of
them. Done by someone with the time and the inclination to do them. He
does not sell anchors or make money on these tests in any way I know of.

Don't forget the Delta Sure Set. Spent a year on the hook and 30 kt winds were
not uncommon and once saw gusts of 50 kts. Scope has everything to do with a
good set.

From my past experience, a danforth (or a similar design like a Fortress)
doesn’t work all that well when the wind changes direction and the anchor has
to reset itself. A CQR, Bruce, Manta, or Rocna will do much better in these
conditoins!

I am looking at some C&Cs with keel centerboards. I have concerns about
potential keel damage in event of grounding with the centerboard up. Not
knowing exact construction, I wonder if bottom portion of keel is lead or
fiberglass. Owners experience appreciated. Also what has been K/CB owners

Just remember a Fortress sets best at 2.5 or less scope. Once set, you can let
out more rode to achieve proper scope.

Rick pretty much nailed it. Also the reason so many folks carry both fortress
and cqr variety. It really is amazing how well even a smaller anchor holds
once properly set.

When I bought Weatherly there was a Fortress, I think FX11, with it.
Most of the time it held, but once in a grassy bottom it just not set at
all in 18 kts breeze. After that, thanks to recommendations on this
list, I bought at 33 lb Rocna. The Fortress is my lunch hook only now.
