Maybe not...you will need to install a sacrificial zinc anode on the ss anchor; otherwise the zinc on your galvanized anchor change will disappear very quickly in sea water Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, *Alianna* Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS d.ve...@bellaliant.net On Sat, Jun 13, 2015 at 7:27 PM,

Rick - That's a 25 kg Rocna, or 55 pounds. With 300 feet of chain that's a lot of weight in the bow, but I removed the 40 gallon water tank in the V Berth and converted that area to storage, so the boat still sits on its lines. Wal Rick wrote: Is that 55kg Rocna? with 300 ft of chain? >I

Data driven evidence suggests that a knockdown can separate the elements of a rail BBQ. Use of said BBQ does work as a sea anchor bit may drag in mud. D > On Jun 2, 2015, at 9:58 AM, Russ & Melody via CnC-List > wrote: > > > What kind of barbeque? I think a Weber with side burner will

Hi Dwight, In my reply to Joe I mentioned having but not using a Bruce Lee... that is what a Chinese knock-off is known as around here. Kinda cute, get it? Bruce Lee, the Chinese character? Anyhow, the Bruce Lee is a cast version of the original anchor, which was forged steel. check post

Joe, for what you describe you are planning on doing, that anchor should do just fine. If you think you may be possibly caught needing more secure footing, there are several recently introduced anchors that may serve you better; Rocna etc, but at considerably more cost. As others are pointing ou

Hi Joe, The 35 lb'der will be okay as a "lunch hook", occasional, or whatever you want to call. It can even be considered big for that service. Serious cruising where you have many more nights/year on the hook and very little discretion on when to stay overnight at anchor means a minimum 45#

I used a 35-lb CQR on my LF38 for many years on the Chesapeake Bay with only 10 feet of chain. It was fine except in real bad blows. I have since changed to a 45-lb Bruce and will be adding a 45-lb Rocna as I prepare for long-distance cruising in sand bottoms--both anchors with 35 feet of chai

Joe, The general rule of thumb with anchors is one pound per foot (length of yacht). However, that's just a guide. If your boat is heavier than average boats of 38 feet, take the next size up. Shouldn't be, in your case. The same rule (get the next size up) applies if you have a lot of windage

What brand of anchor are you looking at? Holding power varies widely between brands. If an original CQR, I'd say it's too light; if it's a Delta, I'd say it would be fine. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 31 May 2015 at 18:53, Joseph Scott via CnC-List wrote: > Hello, > >
