The primary anchor on the 25 that I had was a 25lb CQR with 23ft of chain and 150ft of rode and I never dragged when I had proper scope out. My lunch hook was a 5kg Bruce that I hauled up from the bottom one day and it held almost as well as the CQR. Danforth/Fortress anchors work well in sand and

Listers, Many good ideas and thanks to all for your input. I liked Rick Brass's idea of adding provision for the asymmetrical tack line to the custom roller mounting plate. Paul E's use of the 4WD controller is cool and his blog is even cooler. Tom's photos show a really neat install

Hi Gary, I don't believe the shortened bar is a big deal for anchor holding. The extensions have more to do for getting a faster set, getting the anchor to tip down right away. Don't worry, be happy. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 02:10 PM 03/06/2016, you wrote: I was at th

A swivel is a weak point on the anchor. When I set up my anchor I had to make sure that when the anchor came up it was clocked right on the chain. I just wish my roller furler was higher so the anchor shank would clear, but the PO didn't consult me on that.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusL

Although I’m not a great fan of having any more components than absolutely needed in an anchor rode, a swivel installed between the chain and anchor can ensure the anchor can rotate and more easily traverse the roller than a shackle. Locktite is a good thing to use when installing a swivel. Ric
